During our event we sold a plethora of bakes good items. Introducing our group to the campus as a new way to get all science major students involved, brought attention to many students both male and female. At the bake sale not only were people supporting us but, we had people asking to join as well as asking when the next meeting will be held, where and what time. Needless to say, a bake sale to start off the semester was a great idea.
