Show 'Cake Sale! First Event Slated for Pool Fund Project Like always, the women are coming to the reiscue. Men are"-wonderful are"-wonderful when it comes to planning, plan-ning, securing sites and doing the groundwork. But, when it comes to raising the cash, it takes the women, bless 'em, to make the opening kickoff. The LaVotta's, an organization of young Pleasant Grove mothers, moth-ers, are sponsoring a "traveling cake sale," as a means of raising rais-ing the first money for the proposed pro-posed local swimming pool. A woman bakes a cake, takes At to her neighbor and sells it for a dollar. The neighbor keeps it, bakes another and sells it to her neighbor, and so on ad infinitum. No mere man can understand how it works only the women. But the program,, if loyally supported, sup-ported, brings in the cash. According to the LaVotta's the sale is going forward now on a ward basis with completion date set for March 19. According to Eleroy H. West, chairman of the general committee commit-tee and his assistants the tentative tenta-tive plans have been drawn and approved by the city council. The site on Locust Avenue is available avail-able at no cost. All that remains is to devise some method, by cash and bonds, to raise the estimated $70,000 for the construction. Hal Haycock, finance chairman, chair-man, assisted by Lowell Baxter, is urging the members of all local civic and social clubs to pledge a definite cash donation to help out in the community project. To get this phase of the campaign cam-paign going, the LaVotta's have pledged $10 per couple from their own members. "All other clubs are invited to do what they can," Mr. Haycock said. |
