I am forwarding the following message regarding a Rootsweb Cookbook fundraiser project. Normally, commercial messages are not allowed on the Rootsweb genealogy lists, but an exception is made for this as all the proceeds will be used to support Rootsweb. Without support for Rootsweb, our lists would not exist! _________________________ 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@webtv.net Again, if you do not have Internet access orders only may be emailed to the following address: saundrak@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.

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.
