Members of the Kolo will have a variety of cookies, strudels, nutrolls and other pasteries for sale. Strudels will include apple, cherry, spinach/cheese, and sweet or regular cheese.

Everyone is invited to this Bake Sale. This will be the best opportunity to take home some of the finest handcrafted, traditional desserts in the greater Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland area. Funds generated through this Bake Sale help support the church and the various humanitarian efforts of the St. Sava Serbian Sisters Circle.
