On Sunday, Bethel’s annual Cookie Extravaganza went like clockwork, with 250 pounds of cookies made by the community selling in less than 30 minutes. 

Over $3,000, including donations from individuals and the Bethel Warrior Swim team, were raised for the YK Delta Lifesavers Endowment Fund.

Organizer Beverly Hoffman wants to say “Quyana” to all the bakers: Lisa Meyers, Kathy Hanson, Dolly Faulkner, Pat and Carla Snow, Anne Kosacheff, Justin Wintersteen, Alyssa Perry, Judy Wasierski, Barrie Levine, Ryan and Teal Stanley, Chris Desnoyers, Jennifer Mazzaro, Beverly Hoffman, Kathy Baldwin, Reyne Athanas, Alex Judy, Tiffany Tony, Amy Spatz, LaTesia Guinn, Savannah Claypool, Dolly Angstman, Sue Angstman, Jane Imholte, Michelle DeWitt and friends, Dan and Joseph Twito, Janet Kaiser, Jonica Thomas, Sally Baughman, Kate Pina, Lori Strickler, Kathyrn Reynolds, Elizabeth Betz, Billie Chavez, Kathleen Pelkan, Leshel Campbell, Brittney Boney, Becky Trimble, Nora Nelson, Constance Albert, Lillie Reder, Rachel DeHaan, Shannon Wilson, Elizabeth Roll, Vicki Malone, Shari Neth, Joseph Swope, Fannie Black, and those unknown folks who just dropped cookies off.

Many thanks to the cookie elves: Johanna Eurich, Madi Reichard, Kathy Baldwin, Reyne Athanas, Anne Kosacheff, LaTesia Guinn, Cindy Andrecheck, Justin Wintersteen, Sue Angstman, and the young boys who helped set up and clean up.

Last, but not least, a big thank you everyone who bought cookies this year!
