Re: can't come to the fundraiser? maybe you can bake a cake.
Hey, I'll bake too ! I'm away for the week-end, but will drop it at the Forest on Friday around lunchtime (Or is it too late? Can drop it off on Thursday otherwise...)

Thanks to whoever attached the massive poster with friggin tape right on the windows less than a week after I got up early on a Sunday morning to clean them. They can do the scrubbing next time, I'm washing my hands of it.
