Munchies for Marines

the problem:

Our club baked desert-proof cookies and brownies for a Marine unit in Iraq. We wanted the men and women who are deployed from our area to feel connected to home. We are committed to letting these men and women know, that regardless of our political affiliation, we are supporting them
