The results from last month’s annual Craft Fair and Custodial Fund Bake Sale are in! With over 75 vendors and lots of happy shoppers, the organizing committee is pleased to announce it was another very successful and fun event.

The Craft Fair raised $2,650 (consisting of tabling fees paid by vendors) and the Custodial Bake Sale earned an additional $2,201, with proceeds from baked goods (donated by custodial and other staff), pastries and coffee (donated by Bon Appétit), and sales of Sloppy Joes (made by the Northfield VFW and the Bake Sale Committee). Together, the event raised a grand total of $4,851 for the Carleton Custodial Scholarship Fund.

The Custodial Scholarship Fund also receives funds from outright gifts, planned giving, and payroll deduction. To make a donation, please contact gift accounting at 507-222-5611.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this popular annual holiday event—including vendors, shoppers, bakers, Bon Appétit, and facilities and custodial staff.
