At its Zoom tea in November, the ECW decided to bake cookies and deliver some Christmas cheer to some members that we have missed seeing over these months of the pandemic. Several ECW bakers got busy in their kitchens and brought their cookies to the Parish House, where Elizabeth Heimbach and Nancy Long assembled the cookies for delivery. Thanks to the Heimbachs and to Andrea Pogue for making sure these delicious treats got to their destinations.
