THANK YOU to Nancy Pemberton for the fun games, decorations, favors, and prizes on Valentine’s Day. Prizes were wonderful! Lots of work went into the event and we all thank her for her efforts.
REMEMBER: second Friday of each month is pizza at Peter Piper Pizza. No need to reserve in advance, just announce your intentions at the meeting that day.
PLAN AHEAD: Spring Craft Fair is March 21 from 8 til 2. Set up is the day before, with set up ladies arriving at 11 and ladies selling items arriving later. Please check in with Joan Donar upon arrival. If you put items for sale, be sure to return at the close of the sale to pick up any unsold items. We always need a lot of sellers first thing in the morning, so please volunteer if you can. Our club takes a commission of all sales, which brings in the money we use for our charity projects (material, stuffing, etc).
COFFEE CAKE RECIPE from Carol Beckman
Cream together 1 C margarine and 1 ¾ C white sugar. Add 4 eggs, 1 t. vanilla, ½ t. salt, 1 ½ t. baking powder and mix. Add 3 C flour and mix well. Put ¾ of the mixture on a greased jelly roll pan, spreading to fill. Cover with blueberry or cherry pie filling. (If using cherry, add 1 t. almond extract to filling before spreading). Dot the top of the filling with the remaining dough. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes. While still warm, drizzle with glaze (mix powdered sugar, vanilla or almond extract and water to glaze consistency.)
