2023 Annual Cookie Walk  Thanks to some hard work and the skilled home-baking of an assortment of cookies and pies, the 2023 Cookie Walk was a huge success.  Earlybirds were already at the door by 8:15 and waited in the downstairs Fellowship Hall for the 9:00 opening.  After opening, the upstairs Social Hall was quickly packed with customers and the homebaked cookies were sold out by 10:00.   Customers left happy with an assortment of baked goods, items from vendors, and Christmas decorations from a White Elephant sale.
