"Hi!
I was in Island Time Bakery on Siesta Key yesterday and was asking about delivery to our meetings. All we need to do is have members place orders with them 1 to 2 weeks in advance of our meeting and they will deliver to us. She said since we are located so close there wouldn’t need to be a minimum number of orders for this service."
- Sue Kennedy, Program Chair
