Tasty Treats for Abby's Badminton Team

Once again, I got to be "Brownie Mom" for the Wildcats (a.k.a., the Redlands East Valley High School badminton team), bringing the team dozens of brownies to enjoy. a badminton action closeupThis was my third year supplying tasty treats to the boys and girls on the REV HS badminton team — it's something of a school tradition that I simply love.
Chocolate is good for just about anything, right?
Abby enjoyed this year's junior varsity season, playing girl's singles and mixed doubles. At the end of each badminton season, the team celebrates its accomplishments with a dinner or banquet, when athletic awards and trophies are presented to all. This year, Abby volunteered to organize, order food, decorate, and coordinate the team's big banquet that's scheduled for May 13.
