A group of Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School students are participating in a bake sale on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, to support Heifer International as part of their community service project.  The following six students who are baking and selling delicious goodies after school to support the project are: Alva R., 7A; Chloe M., 7A; Emily D., 7B; Elizabeth S., 7A; Jenna S., 7A; and Lucie C., 7C.  Heifer International is a global non-profit organization with the goal of ending poverty and hunger in a sustainable fashion.  Established in 1944, Heifer International gives out gifts of livestock, seeds, and trees and extensive training to those in need.  Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, Heifer International has helped more than 13.6 million families (71 million people) in more than 125 countries.  Animals may include sheep, goats, llamas, chicks, and buffalo.  The goal for this bake sale is to collect enough money to buy and send at least one animal.  Stop by and purchase a cookie, brownie, and/or cupcake and support a great cause!  For more information, contact Mr. Allison at kallison@melrose.mec.edu.
