Also needed, cupcakes for the CUPCAKE WALK! Please let Robin know if you will provide some delicious baked goods.
On the night of… kids are encouraged to wear costumes (dress like your favorite character from your favorite book!). Also, please bring canned food for the food drive. All donations go to benefit John Rogers Families!!
