COOKIE WALK 2nd Annual Friends of the Rowley Library Cookie Walk to be held Saturday December 8th, 2-4 PM, at the Rowley Public Library, 141 Main St. Rowley MA With Holiday Music performed Live by Pianist/vocalist Nancy Day. Cookie Bakers Needed! Sign up today (via email) for the 2nd annual Friends of the Library Cookie Walk that will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8th. All varieties and types of cookies are needed: sugar cookies, decorated cookies, etc - or bake your family favorite. Many cookies are needed to make the walk successful. Email Olivia MacDonald with any questions, olivialeonemacdonald@gmail.com. What is a Cookie Walk? While many have experienced a Christmas Cookie Walk, others may not be sure what it is and how it works. This is a fundraiser where we sell homemade cookies by the tin. We ask that our members and friends bake and donate batches of one of their favorite Christmas cookie (about 3 dozen) to donate for the walk. The day of the cookie walk, we line tables up with large platters of the donated cookies. Buyers choose a decorative tin and walk around the tables to choose the cookies they would like to purchase. This is a great way to get a huge variety of holiday cookies without baking so many different kinds! All proceeds from the sale are donated to fund programming at the Rowley Public Library! This event is only successful because of all our bakers (you!) who spend the time to bake the cookies!!
