A longtime GL reader sent us an email asking if we could post something about an event that neighbors on 12th Street are having tomorrow. Of course, we can:

The following is about a Bake Sale that is going to benefit Operation Backpack….Neighbors from 438 and 444 12th Street (between 7th and 8th Aves) are getting together on Saturday August 9th from 11-2 to hold a bake sale which will benefit Operation Back Pack – a city run program that will benefit some of the thousands of homeless children in NYC who do not have back packs or school supplies in the fall. Please stop by and get yourself a treat! Yummy cupcakes, brownies, rice krispie treats and more!

More about Operation Backpack here, if you’re interested. It’s a good cause featuring our favorite thing: sweets.
