Valentine’s bakesale, February 13, 2020

The school held their 3rd Annual Valentine’s bakesale in memory of Nora on February 13th. They raised $1450.70. Even though Ms. B.D. is now retired, she still made 8 beautiful decorated treats as prizes for the raffle, and Ms. Turco made 8 baskets.

Kate and I had our booth again where we sold Nora’s bday jelly and “Nora’s Narwhals” pouches. We took in $545 for Meagan’s Walk. The pouches were new this year; I had picked up some fabric that reminded me of Nora, so I decided to make change purses and pencil cases out of it. I sewed all weekend while Kate was at Camp Ooch — it was a special task for me to do that made me feel close to Nora and Kate.

Essentially this event kick-starts the fundraising for Meagan’s Walk, which will happen this year on May 9, so it gets Lisa & I stared on setting up Team Nora’s Narwhals. This year we’ve been designing Narwhals hoodies to sell, along with the t-shirts. Hopefully we will have the online ordering going by this weekend, and the link will be available on our team website.
