Even though it was an off-again / on-again drippy morning, many people came out to support our efforts.  Some came by to get their cars washed, others just to purchase pastries, and still others to offer words of encouragement and find out more about the Citizen Patrol.  It was a fantastic event that brought $208 into the fund to purchase equipment.

Car Wash and Bake Sale Update!

The Mill Creek Youth Advisory Board is now co-sponsoring this event, making it even bigger and better!  Half the proceeds will go to this fantastic youth organization, and we encourage everyone to swing by and support our combined efforts.

Frost Doughnuts has also graciously agreed to contribute some of their hand-crafted amazing pastries to the bake sale.  If you have not tried a Frost Doughnut, you have no idea what you’re missing!  They are definitely not your everyday doughnut!  Their imagination runs wild at Frost, with ingredients like toasted pecans, freshly shaved chocolate, bourbon caramel frosting, and rich cream fillings your taste buds will never forget, these hand-crafted pastries are pure decadence.

Other treats being contributed include decorated cookies you won’t find anywhere else, mini loaves of fresh baked zucchini bread, brownies, tiny professionally decorated cakes, and more.

What a way to kick off Fall!  A sparkling clean car laden with yummy home made baked goods!

The Booster Club will be holding a car wash and bake sale to raise funds to purchase equipment for the Citizen Patrol.  Our goal at this event is to raise the  $2,500 to purchase a much-needed police radio.  Citizen Patrol members, along with their families and friends, will be involved.

Come on out and have your vehicle washed and vacuumed, and enjoy some tasty treats while you wait.
