2,508 Stroopwafels!

Dave leaves for his mission trip next weekend. He takes 2 leaders and 10 students with him. To help raise money for this service project in tornado/flood stricken Iowa he organized another big fundraiser: selling our favorite Dutch cookies. The response was overwhelming with orders for 209 dozen cookies (2.508 individual cookies!). The team made good money, but worked hard for it! Another little shout out to Heather for the awesome cookie maker-- ours was by far the best. (Granted the other 10 irons being borrowed did come over from the Netherlands with some ancestor 30 years ago!) This gift, along with the realization that we could actually make Stroopwafels and the practice our visiting family granted us is what inspired this fundraiser idea.

Oooh, how fun, ethnic treats. Wish I was closer to put in my order. Sounds like our Italian pizzelles.

ASTONISHING! Kudos to those who put in the work to make it successful:-) (And the youth pastor and wife who, I'm sure, did inordinate amounts of work, too.)
