All Library staff and volunteers are highly encouraged to attend our Holiday Cookie & Information Exchange on Tuesday, December 16th, from 2:00 to 3:30 pm in the National Museum of the American Indian Patron's Lounge on the Fourth Floor. (This is where we held last year's Staff Appreciation Party. Find the NMAI brochure here).
The Information Exchange will include the Executive Committee giving highlights of this year's accomplishments, introducing new staff, and offering awards and recognition. Basically, everything traditionally seen in the Annual Meeting. But the main goal is Cookie Exchange!
Cookie Exchange Rules:
Bring 2 dozen cookies, preferably homemade, and expect to take about a dozen away. Labels, recipes, and ingredient lists highly appreciated! EC will provide beverages and SPARC will provide ziplock bags (though bringing a reusable container would be Greener).
If you are looking for inspiration, we do have recipes from last year's cookie exchange: Download Recipes.
Food Drive:
This is also an opportunity for you to spread the holiday cheer to those in the Washington area who are facing these tough economic times by contributing to the SPARC food drive, to be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank. Not necessarily an endorsement of the organization, this is just a way for us not to forget those who are struggling in this holiday season.
Feel free to email a SPARC member or EC for more info!
