And a big THANK YOU to our July Vendor Appreciation Gift recipient, Deb Spencer – aka 6635 StudeBaker “History in the Baking”!
We’ve turned to Deb every time we’ve needed a beautiful space and gracious host for various dinners, events, classes etc, and since she’s a glutton for punishment, she never turns us down, even when she should!
I’ve counted on her for so much, so often these past two years, I can’t begin to adequately repay her. I treasure her quality, support, and friendship! Thanks for everything, Deb :-)
