Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The Kommor Family has a HUGE community gathering every year where everyone rolls up their sleeves and makes these Hamantaschen. The Kommors ask for non-perishable food for a local food pantry, and they give away all the Hamantaschen that the attendees make! Rose Lee Morris was Margie Kommor's mother.
