ANNUAL NO BAKE SALE -- February / March: 
In lieu of baking for a bake sale, members are asked to bring a cash donation and save the hassle of baking

A bit of news we have today,
A BAKELESS BAKE SALE is on the way
On these busy days, now who could bake
Pie, cookies, or even a cake?

You'd be surprised if you counted the cost
Of materials, heat, or the time you've lost
Cooking for a sale is extra work,
Yet nobody really wishes to shirk.

So we thought of a plan that is really grand,
And we feel that you will understand.
In an envelope please put the price,
Of a pie, a cake, or something nice.

Without fuss or bother you've done your part,
We feel sure you will give with a willing heart.
This is the end of our tale.
Wish us success in our
               BAKELESS BAKE SALE!
