Members of the Lake Park-Audubon Family Career and Community Leaders of America baked, decorated and sold over 1,100 cookies to benefit the National FCCLA Service Project, Children's Miracle Network, Christmas Anonymous Gifts for Children, Christmas Gifts for the Homeless Shelter and Elementary Educational Lessons.
Each member was asked to donate two dozen decorated cookies or pay for ingredients and bake in the FACS classroom. Twelve members and their advisors, Cheryl Hogie and Lori Bartunek, spent Saturday morning, Nov. 13, at the Holiday Showcase in the LPA Elementary building in Audubon selling cookies for $.25 choice.
Customers could purchase as many or as few cookies as they wanted. Profits from the event reached over $300. Cookies that remained at the end of the event were packaged, and frozen to be shared with the giving baskets for the Lake Park and Audubon communities.
FCCLA is a student lead organization that focuses on the family and is open to all high school students in grades 7-12 that have taken a family consumer science class.
