Holiday Cookie Fundraiser The holiday season is the time for the Highland Lakes Democratic Women’s Cookie Fundraiser benefiting their Scholarship Fund. Each year HLDW grants $1500 scholarships to adult and high school learners. On December 6 the bakers brought their cookies to Nancy Fehr’s house, where an assembly line was set up by Patty Kane, Cookie Chair. Teams assembled the boxes and then passed them on to the next team for finishing touches. A total of $1200 was raised this year and a good time was had by all!

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM YOUR WEBMASTER
HDLW Christmas Cookies are a highlight of the Season. They're my favorite Christmas treat and make great gifts for friends. Knowing they help fund HLDW scholarships makes them taste even better. I've been getting cookies for years now and I want to say that this year's batch is the best ever. The variety, the decorations, and the presentation are simply wonderful. Bravo to the bakers! And bravo to HLDW for doing this! - Charles Watkins Friends , we are now living in a hard place and it is okay to be here and grieve. We worked so hard together, possibly the most effort ever done by our Democratic colleagues. We mailed postcards, block walked, made phone calls, held rallies, raised money and advertised on radio, internet, and papers. So now we rest, grieve, stop and take a breath. Enjoy experiencing these Holidays with our friends and family. Love each other, see the beauty in each other and the beauty of our earth. Then, let’s get back to work in January and continue to kick ASS! Blessings and Love, -Mary Kathryn President of HLDW |
