This message is from Faye that used to be on the group on a regular basis. Since their transfer to England she has been too busy to keep up with the group much. She was telling me about a recipe album she wants to put together and I asked her to send me the details. Please read the information below...I think it would be wonderful if a bunch of us could donate a page for this album. Please give it some thought.... If you are interested in getting in on the drawing....please let Faye know...her email is listed below. Thanks ladies for your consideration of this request. Have a great day! Susan
I'm going to try and explain the reason for asking for help on a recipe book to donate to an auction. It is for the OCSC (Officers and Civilian Spouses Club). We do an auction every year to help raise funds for our Philanthropic Fund. This fund is used for many things. All the funds are put back into the military community and or our local British community as well. Just a few things that we have helped with in the past is: Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts, The High School Sports and Clubs, local community projects, books and shelving for a local school, scholarship funds and just recently a Memorial Fund just to name a few. It is amazing to see how all the monies are being spent and the good works that they are doing. I'm on the board this year so I'm seeing it at work first hand. Our group is responsible for hosting the auction this year. There are all sorts of stuff donated. We aren't allowed to solicited local or base businesses due to Air Force Regulations. So therefore we are depended upon people and what they can donate...or make. But we have always had a good turn out and made some pretty good money. What I'd like to do being a scrapper and know how nice the recipe books are is to do a Recipe Book and put it into the auction. I plan to ask the group of scrappers that are here to check it out and see about them making pages for it too, as this would be a large project for just one person to take on. I would love to ask the ladies of the RCS to help in this adventure of mine. I would take great pride in letting folks know that this has been an effort from a special group of ladies, not only our own but also from friends all over the world. It would show this community just how giving scrappers can be, for those that don't know us already...The auction is set for the third week in November. I've already started working on pages for it, and plan to approach the local group of ladies here tomorrow. If there is anyone who would like to help, please let me know via email at snipped-for-privacy@btinternet.com .
