A Sweet Lady Who Shared Her Cake Pans 7-25-13

Uncategorized
All of us here at CfC, send our heart felt 'thanks' to Carole of Sonoita, AZ.  Carole made a generous in-kind donation of her cake pans to help us with our mission.  Carole told our volunteers, Rene' and Terrill, when they made the 1 hour drive to pick up the cake pans, the most interesting story or what we like to call the 'CfC way' as it always works out and is meant to be.

A Young Man, Cupcakes, and Asking a Young Lady to the Prom
