A big thanks to all the bakers and helpers who made our Vaihinger Stadtfest stand possible last weekend. We were able to raise a much needed 256€ for our library from the cookie and book sales 👏 Furthermore, we were able to advertise our library and hopefully win some new members 🤞 Thanks also to all the members who stopped by to say hi 👋 😃 We hope to be back again next year.
