Waffles and bake-sale ideas boost club fund drive
A New York group of women used a 25 cent waffle and coffee sale to raise funds for church and club needs. They rented an empty shop, set long tables, organized shifts for batter mixing and percolation, and offered multiple syrup varieties. The event drew quick business and repeated with a 40 cent double order. A midwest bake-sale used a single recipe each week as a store promotion, selling cookie for a cent, then cake and baked beans to clear funds. Recipes include Mrs Jarvis Jelly Roll and Doughnuts, with instructions and substitutions, and an Economy Spice Cake recipe using pastry or bread flour.
