Local celebs asked to “batter up” once more for The Children’s Center

NORWICH – Last year more than 40 local celebrities whipped up batches of homemade cookies in all shapes and sizes in support of The Children’s Center’s first Cookies and Cream event.

This year, many of them will be asked to do it all over again. But this time, the community will get to decide whose cookies they want to see in the running for the prestigious Golden Cookie award, given to the chef whose cookies command the highest price in the event’s silent auction.

“Last year being our first year, we got nominations from a small committee,” explained Campaign Chair Martha Brower-Ryan. “Opening the nomination process to the entire community helps us accomplish two goals; to allow everyone in the community to participate in the process and second, to raise funds to cover the cost of the fundraising event.”
