PENNSYLVANIA GAS AND
WATER COMPANY (PG&W) will
launch its second year of cookie
bake sales for area non-profit orga-
nizations starting in September.
According to Richard Santee, Direc-
tor of Marketing for the local gas
utility, 100* non-profit civic and fra-
ternal groups throughout Northeast-
ern and Central Pennsylvania par-
ticipated in last year’s program.
Specifically, in the Luzerne County
area 36 organizations availed them-
selves of the fund raising program
in 1983-84. Under the program
guidelines, any non-profit organiza-
tion is welcome to bake cookies in
Wilkes-Barre showroom. PG&W
supplies the kitchen facilities and
all ingredients for each group to
bake approximately 120 dozen coco-
nut chews and Welsh cookies.
The group sells the. cookies at $1
per dozen as established by the
company. All proceeds go to the
non-profit club’s treasury.
Mr. Santee indicated that the
cookie bake sales are, ‘‘one of
PG&W’s on-going efforts to assist
local organizations through this
worthwhile fund raising program.
All an interested group has to do is
to call our marketing department
for details and available dates,” he
said.
