Book Sale Fundraiser


One of my daughter's first grade classmates lost her mother. After a battle MS, I'm certain the family is left with medical bills and memorial expenses. As a room parent, I'm working with our school and other parents to start a fund for the family. It will be given as a gift from our elementary school. We will have a bake sale during PTA BINGO night and gather funds through other activities as well. I'd like to do more, so here is the deal...

If you have ever thought about purchasing Bite of Washington, now is the time. All proceeds received from the sale of my cookbook dating from March 1st-March 31st will be donated to the memorial gift fund. After printing cost, I net around $3 per book. It doesn't seem like much, but every cent counts. If you, or someone you know would like to help out, please feel free to forward my message.

Bite of Washington is available via Amazon.com

"Product Description
Fourteen chapters highlight Washington food festivals and event through out the year. There are over 180 recipes utilizing foods grown in Washington. The book includes several recipes from local, professional chefs. Visit Washington, and take a bite home with you!"
