The 10th
Annual Great Cookie Walk of West Des Moines for YJI
[1] Will be held…………a little different…..a little later, but still a wonderful
celebration of holiday cookies and for a terrific cause.                                                                                                                                                          The annual Great Cookie Walk of
West Des Moines will be sponsored beginning this year by the Hy-Vee stores of
West Des Moines. Hy-Vee, long term Great Cookie Walk supporters, stepped
forward to continue the traditional celebration after the originators recently
announced their retirement from nine years of leadership.  Planned dates for the 10th Annual
Cookie Walk are December 3 through December 16, 2013 at all West Des Moines
Hy-Vees and Hy-Vee drug store. They will be offering a special bakery fresh 12
count cookie box named “ The 10th Annual Great Cookie Walk”. Their
hopes are to sustain the spirit of the favored holiday event. Following a
recent planning  meeting, West Des Moines
Hy-Vee Store Directors commented,  “ we
just had to keep the Great Cookie Walk going”, “It’s been so helpful in providing
funds for YJI and it’s a holiday event the West Des Moines community has come
to love and enjoy”. As has been the custom, proceeds of the event will continue
to benefit the Youth Justice Initiative (YJI) of West Des Moines. West Des
Moines Hy-Vees and Hy-Vee Drugstore will be contributing $1.00 per box of Bakery
Fresh 12 count cookies sold during the celebration.
