PTA* Bake Sale & Book Swap

We Met in Miami, run by the nonprofit We Met Community Connection to help people beat loneliness in South Florida, opens its Give Miami Day fundraiser with a Party Throwers Association bake sale at Dear Eleanor. The bake sale has homemade treats and coffee, including salted chocolate tahini cookies, morning buns, blueberry crumb cake and herbes de Provence baguettes. Next is a white elephant book swap where you bring a wrapped book you read in school, then unwrap, steal and trade. A class photo in front of a laser backdrop wraps it up, and then you can find whoever ended up with your book. Guests wear wristbands for love, friendship or LGBTQIA+ community. Joining the book swap costs nothing, and a $25 Give Miami Day donation buys a Hall Pass with five tickets for baked goods and retro school pictures, plus four Miami Book Fair passes each for the first five donors.
