Update: Annual Rake & Bake Postponed
With a good covering of snow on the ground, the annual Rake & Bake has been postponed for one week.
Update 11 a.m. Nov. 8:
Peter Brady said Thursday morning that the annual Rake & Bake has been postponed to November 17 due to Wednesday's snowfall.
"If we can't see the leaves we can't rake them," he said, hopeful that all 1,000 volunteers will be able to participate next Saturday.

Rakers will be meeting at Brookfield High School (BHS) at 7:30 a.m. Saturday before dispersing to the 81 clients being helped this year. Afterward, they’ll be returning to the BHS gym for a hotdog cookout and fellowship.
Rakers should bring their own, marked equipment.
The Rake & Bake is organized by HDHM and its founder Peter Brady, who has been recognized as an “All-Star of the Year” by the New York Yankees and named a Huffington Post “Greatest Person” for his efforts helping those in need.
