Maxie's donated a free dessert on their next visit, with 100%
of the donation going to the Museum of the Earth. Participants
in Maxie's Bake Sale raised $1615.00 and
due to a generous matching pledge by an anonymous donor, the grand
total was $3230.00! The money raised was applied towards
the construction and sustanance of this world class, hands-on
natural history and science museum specializing in amazing prehistoric
creatures. |

The Cayuga Waterfront Trail, a project
of the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce and the City of Ithaca,
will enhance Ithaca's quality of life and contribute to our
local economy. This 6-mile hard-surface trail will allow rollerbladers,
bikers, strollers, wheelchairs, runners and walkers to travel
and eercise along the shores of our beautiful Cayuga Lake. The
trail will begin at the Tompkins County Visitor's Center, loop
through Stewart Park, skirt alongside the water in front of
Farmers' Market, the Cornell Boathouse and Inlet Island, then
loop through Cass Park and follow the lake to Treman Marine
Park. $200,000 in funds are needed from the Ithaca community
to complete the project (the remaining $1.3-$1.8 million
comes from a variety of grants).
With your help, Maxie's Bake Sale raised $1,750 in pure profit
for the Cayuga Waterfront Trail. How did we do this? Guests
purchased a $5 dessert and the money went straight to the trail,
because Maxie's donated the dessert! It's so SWEET what we can
do together! Thank YOU!
Check out the Cayuga Waterfront Trail website.
Maxie's Supper Club and Oyster Bar greatly believes in the
power of community involvement and the enrichment and mutual
benefits which are reaped by everyone when local and regional
products are supported.
