‘Everything Chocolate’ on sale

Of all the fundraisers Lesa Cole has been a part of, Saturday’s should take the cake.
She promises.
Cole, a librarian at the Iola Public Library, is working with The Friends of the Library with its second annual Everything Chocolate Sale.
Donated homemade chocolate items will be on sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday — a perfect gift idea for Valentine’s Day.
Cole said organizers agreed to resume the fundraiser after the community’s “tremendous” response last February.
“It went so well, we knew we had to do it again,” she said.
Donors will bring in homemade chocolate items so they can be wrapped, packaged and put on display for Saturday’s sale.
Cole is looking for volunteers to help Friday evening to package the chocolates, or to dip strawberries, cherries or whatever confections are donated.
Packaging will start about 3 p.m. Friday; dipping a couple hours later.
The sale will be in the library meeting room. Donors and buyers should enter in the west doors near the parking lot.
Proceeds will help pay for Friends activities to support the library throughout the year.
