Since our members were not interested, and did not sacrifice enough for the success to our bazaar, we had to do something else that would replace the income of our church. The Kolbász making brought us a $250.00 profit. At this time we cannot report on our Stuffed Cabbage and donut making. TRENTON, N. J.
