and Hodgie’s ice cream, cold beverages and coffee may be purchased during intermission, all served by dedicated<br />
MAC volunteers, who continue to make this non-profit series happen. To purchase gift certificates online (major<br />

ROWLEY - Friends of the Library 1st Annual Cookie Walk, Saturday December 2th, 10:30AM- 1:30 PM at the<br />
Rowley Public Library - 141 Main St. 100% of proceeds benefit The Friends of the Library. What is a Cookie Walk?<br />
While many have experienced a Christmas Cookie Walk, others may not be sure what it is and how it works. This<br />
is a fundraiser where we sell homemade cookies by the tin. We ask that our members and friends bake and donate<br />
batches of one of their favorite Christmas cookie (about 6 dozen) to donate for the walk. The day of the cookie<br />
walk, we line tables up with large platters of the donated cookies. Buyers choose a decorative tin and walk around<br />
the tables to choose the cookies they would like to purchase. This is a great way to get a huge variety of holiday<br />
cookies without baking so many different kinds! All proceeds from the sale are donated to fund programming at<br />
the Rowley Public Library! Bakers Instructions: Please bake 6 dozen (or more!) of your favorite variety of cookie.<br />
Please only bake one variety, and email Olivia to let her know which kind you’ll bake. All varieties and types of<br />
cookies are needed: sugar cookies, decorated cookies, etc - or bake your family favorite. Many cookies are needed<br />
to make the walk successful. Please have cookies NOT individually wrapped, but protected (gallon Ziploc bags/<br />
tins/plastic containers) for the event. On the day of the event, we will have the cookies displayed on platters. Drop<br />
Off: Please come drop off your donated goodies to the Rowley Public Library between Monday Nov 27th and<br />
