- Hello, How are you? Is your summer all that you'd hope for? Or like me have you had some
unexpected events occur?
Most of you know that I've been baking cookies weekly for the past 5 years for Bryce and
his classmates.
This past year Miss Chan, my granddaughter said, "Well Grandma Sweetheart, will you
bake cookies for me too?" Of course I agreed. As the school year ended I was thinking
how I'd enjoy having a summer free of baking cookies at midnight or o'dark-thirty and
dashing them to each school between sessions. Yes, I was telling myself how I was going
to take the summer off from baking cookies and have some fun.
The last day of school Bryce received notice from the Congressional Junior National
Young Leaders Conference saying that Bryce had been nominated by his teacher for
outstanding academics, leadership, and community service contributions; they accepted
the nomination and invited Bryce to attend the 6-day conference in Washington D. C. this
fall. (I later learned nation wide there are hundreds of thousands of kids nominated and less
than 1% are invited and Bryce is one of those!!)
I viewed this as a right of passage for Bryce so won't you know I jumped in with both feet
to help him. We started brainstorming how we could generate the funds for him to attend. I
felt it is a necessity for Bryce to be
an intricate part of generating the funds as he's learned a lot about short cuts and handouts.
I'll bet you'll never guess our main source of fund-raising - yes it's true - we decided to bake
cookies and sell them.
This child will never forget the summer when he was 12 and neither will I.
A Summer We'll Remember

I think the biggest thing is that
you helped me tap into what I
knew was inside of me. You
are a big part of gaining my
confidence back as a person
in the work place and as an
individual. I really appreciate
all you have done. The time
and effort you put in was very
much appreciated and
respected.
