Calling All Bakers!
ORCA will again be offering DESSERTS during Tunes at The Pool.
We are looking for a few more neighbors willing to bake cookies or bars to be sold at the events (schedule below). All proceeds will benefit the MGDG’s 'Tiny House' project for the
Veteran's Welcome Home Center.
The baked goods should be bagged to weigh about 4 oz. per bag (typically ~4 cookies). Any quantity of bags is gratefully accepted. Please clearly mark what is inside, especially if there are any nuts!

PRIOR SWEET TREAT EVENTS
‘Thank You’ for Supporting
ORCA’s Sweet Treats
Ocean Ridge Charities Association was very excited to partner with the Social Activities Committee, the Men’s Grilled Dinner Group and our many fabulous neighborhood bakers to offer ‘Sweet Treats’ for purchase during the monthly ‘Tunes At The Pool’ events this summer.
Together we raised nearly $2,400 for Samara’s Village. Plus, the Men’s Grilled Dinner Group donated their ‘Tunes’ proceeds, which were in excess of $3,000, to ORCA. Those monies were split between The Carousel Child Advocacy Center & The Veteran’s Welcome Home Center. All three of these groups will use the funds to further their missions in support of Brunswick County residents in need of our help.
And a HUGE shout out to the numerous bakers (many of whom baked multiple times) for their amazing, delicious and creative cookies, bars, brownies and cupcakes. We could not have done this without EACH of you!

ORCA’s Sweet Treats During Tunes at the Pool
Again this summer Ocean Ridge Charities Association is hosting a dessert fund raiser during the monthly ‘Tunes at the Pool’. These delicious homemade treats are the perfect ending after enjoying your burgers and hotdogs cooked by the Men’s Grilled Dinner Group.
At the May event, we sold over $430 worth of yummy cookies!
And also a thank you to our awesome volunteers who baked and/or helped with sales… Diane Allemond, Wendy Carney, Michele Cook, Darlene Dies, Nancy Dukakis, Lisa Leifels, Cynthia Marcelli, Sherri Martin, Helga Susmeyer, Eloise Townsend, Nancy Cooper, Judy Cunningham, Mary Perno and event coordinator, Joan Griffith.
All proceeds will go to Samara’s Village which helps Brunswick county pregnant and parenting adolescents and their families raise healthy babies through:
-
specialized educational interventions
-
services directed at supporting the family's immediate needs
-
coordination with available resources.
Look for us at future Tunes… we’ll have cupcakes, truffles, brownies and so much more over the summer months.
