I feel as though there are not enough clues for pg 164 Cookies for a Cause to figure it out. What am I missing?
2010 book logic puzzle Cookies for a Cause

This is the 4x5 puzzle in Volume 1, #164.
The first pass through the clues will give you many exclusions and one positive relation.
Clue 4 is one of those "Of x and y ..." clues with four different categories. After marking the two obvious exclusions: Ariel/schools, chocolate chip/Wednesday, you can get more exclusions by looking at the clue some more.
Clue 4: "Of Ariel and the one who helped raise money for local schools, one baked chocolate cookies, and the other had her sale on Wednesday."
We know from the clue that Ariel might be paired with Wednesday. What other days of the week might Ariel be paired with?
We know from the clue that Ariel might be paired with chocolate cookies. What other cookie type might Ariel be paired with?
You can ask similar questions about the local schools. And then do the same for chocolate cookies and Wednesday.
If you're stuck, then work on clue 4 to see if you can get more exclusions from both sides of the clue.
I assume you found the positive relation pairing Monday with its Fund Raiser by using clues 2, 4, and 5.
