As your United Way reps for this year, Gwen and I have planned a few events to take place over the next few months to raise money for the University’s United Way Campaign. The first one is the Bake for Later Bake Sale!

Here’s how it works:

1. We will recruit “bakers” who would commit to baking something for their fellow library employee within a certain time frame (3 months or so).
2. We will have an online silent auction the last week of October where Libraries staff can bid on an item to be baked for them later. After the auction, it will be the up to the winner and baker to work out the logistics of when the item would be baked and delivered.

Call for Bakers: If you would like to be a baker for this event, please contact Jennifer Walker or Gwen Gray by next Friday, October 24, and let us know what item you are willing to bake. You don’t need to bake anything now; you will just commit to bake something for later!

The College of Health Sciences and University Data, Analytics, and Institutional Research are teaming up to raise money for the Heart of Missouri United Way.
