Cooking for a cause
“Our Recipes, Volume Two” cookbook has been compiled by a ladies prayer group from Westwood Church of Christ that meets once each month in the homes of members. Their cookbook sales are in conjunction with the Relay for Life fund-raiser scheduled May 8 to benefit the American Cancer Society.
“The whole idea of a relay is “team” effort,” noted Carole Cathcart, Relay for Life chairperson. “Fund-raising projects such as the Butterfly Sisters’ cookbook are ongoing during a big part of the year with the actual night-long walk from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. at the middle school track as the final highlight.”
Cookbook coordinators are Patty Boyd and Glenda Rice with Anne Madewell as the current highest seller.
Last year, they were able to sell some 600 copies of volume one and collected a total of $3,500 for the ACS fund-raiser, while using the Butterfly Sisters as the name for their relay team. With that past success, the ladies have gathered more of their favorite recipes for a new cookbook priced at $7 each. Cookbooks may be obtained from any one of the Butterfly Sisters or by calling the Westwood church office at 473-8434. The ladies also expect to have copies for sale during the relay.
