Eventful Benefiting Weekend

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Last week I posted about the great events happening in Berlin, MD for their Victorian Christmas .  The majority of events will continue this weekend.  Click here for a full list of Berlin's Events


In addition to their Victorian fun, Baked Desserts Cafe and Gallery will be hosting a Holiday Open House & Food Drive this Saturday.  From 10 am - 4 pm Baked Desserts will have dessert tastings, holiday greens for sale and their annual Food Drive for the Hungry.  Bring in items, save 10% on your purchases all day. 

Nearby Paws & Claws will be hosting a photo shoot with Santa on Sunday.  All pets are welcome, owners can 'browse' for stocking stuffers for their four legged family members.  The photo shoot and photo is just a $20 fee, and it includes a donation to our local Animal Shelter. 

Last month, I blogged on about a local charity, Diakonia (Giving Back - Diakonia).  This weekend there will be two events in town that will benefit the organization.  A cookie walk on Saturday at the St. Peter's Church on 103rd street.  The walk will be held from 9 am - 2 pm, and ALL proceeds from the cookie sale will be matched and go towards Diakonia!  If you don't feel like baking this is a great way to get your Christmas Cookies!

Also on Saturday, the Restaurant at Lighthouse Sound will host a pancake breakfast with Santa!  The breakfast will take place from 7 - 11 am.  This event is a great day for any family, but also for the children of Diakonia (often it is their only Christmas Holiday event).  The breakfast is very affordable, $10 for adults, $5 for children 5-10 years and 5 & under are free.  Tickets can be purchased at Lighthouse Sound Restaurant or the 4 local Taylor Bank locations.  

I hope you enjoy the weekend with these great events that give back to others (and animals!)
