Hello all,
RootsWeb, our mailing list host, is funded by sponsorships and/or
memberships. The funds required to keep RootsWeb moving forward exceed
the funds generated by this method. The difference is made up from the
personal pockets of the RootsWeb owners. Should these funds dry up,
RootsWeb will cease to exist.
The Cookbook Project is a method of raising extra funds for RootsWeb.
Please do not feel compelled to participate.
Regards

.....................................................
Due to overwhelming popularity of the cookbook project undertaken
recently by
the Homespun mailing list -- and in response to scores of requests --
Homespun
and the Country-Kitchen are pleased and excited to announce we are now
compiling
a second volume. It will have all new recipes and differs from the
first in
that holiday traditions will be included, which may be short essays up
to 150
words and applies to any holiday celebrated around the world. Each
item will
include the submitter's name, city and state of residence.
As with our first project, all proceeds will be used to support
Rootsweb. Our
first edition netted over $4,000 for them. Our goal for the second
volume is to
reach at least $5,000. With your support, we can achieve this!
Recipes and holiday traditions for the book are being solicited
through June 19,
1998, on our website at:
http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/7186/form.html
Orders may be placed when a recipe is submitted from there, or
directly at:
http://www.geocities.com/NapaValley/7186/order.html
If you do not have Internet access, you may email recipe and tradition
submittals to:
hcookbook(a)webtv.net
Again, if you do not have Internet access orders only may be emailed
to the
following address:
saundrak(a)m7.sprynet.com
When emailing your submittal or order, please be sure to specify
VOLUME 2 RECIPE
or VOLUMEN 2 ORDER in the subject line.
Books are $10 each, including tax and postage (US$13 for orders to
Canada and
Australia; pricing for other countries will be determined if orders
are
received). Payment must be by check or money order and received no
later than
July 10, 1998 (postdated checks cannot be accepted). We cannot
process credit
card orders. Payment not received by July 10 will result in an order
being
cancelled as the publisher requires their money when the order is
placed (and
the bank will hold out-of-state checks up to two weeks to clear).
Checks drawn
on US accounts or international money orders must be used. Remittance
should be
mailed to:
"Homespun Cookbook"
c/o 2200 Green Acres Dr.
Rogers, AR 72758
We anticipate delivery of the cookbook about the end of November.
They'll make
wonderful Christmas gifts! We sincerely hope you will support this
endeavor.
Remember, ALL proceeds go to Rootsweb!!
Should you have any questions on this project, please contact me.
