Election Day Bake Sale
The Election Day Bake Sale was a new outreach opportunity begun by our Outreach TEAM in 2008. This may become an annual event at First Baptist. Our goal was to have baked goods to sell through all of the polling hours. Baked goods were dropped off prior to the sale so that they would be ready for the day. This fundraiser benefited the TAABA Back 2 School Bash outreach.
Election Day Bake Sale 2008 Report
For our many members who baked goodies for the Election Day Bake Sale, we can never thank you enough! We received so many baked goods that my wish to have enough to last from dawn to dusk was answered. What a wonderful day!
Due to the concerns about a huge turnout, we believe that early voting may have hurt our chances to sell a little more because there were not the long lines as were expected. However, so many people – both voters and poll workers – said that they have missed a bake sale here and so very much appreciated our presence with the hope that we do it again! To those who helped staff the tables – thank you for the time you gave for this project. Because of all of you we now have added $265 to the 2009 TAABA Back2School Bash fund. God Bless you all!
