Zuzzy’s Cookie Dough: Round 2

Hello Williston,

Zuzzy’s Cookie Dough will be returning for a second week! Stop by our table at lunch to stock up. We will continue to have Classic Chocolate Chip, Midnight Chip, and Rocky Trail. All profit goes to the American Cancer Society by benefiting Williston’s own Relay for Life Team “Williston Warriors.”

A reminder for faculty, staff, and students in the area that Relay will take place at Look Park in Florence, MA on June 13th-14th and we would love to have more team members! A clarification for those interested that you do not have to stay for the entire 24-hour event. If you would like to stop by for an hour or two to relieve the full-time participants, that would be equally amazing.

If you are interested, email us for more info or sign up at our lunch table. Zuzzy’s is the perfect indulgence for a busy week of Assessments… I hope to see you all at lunch!

Sincerely,
Brittany Collins, Maddy Stern, and the Community Service Club
