Do you love to eat? Do you have some favorite recipes tucked away? Then as easily as that, you can help a lighthouse.
Jim & Ann Coombs of Cape Annie's Lighthouse on Cape Cod published a cookbook two years ago titled,
Lighthouse Preservation Is Alive & Cooking which was a collection of recipes from their customers and friends. 50% of the proceeds were donated to Race Point. The cookbook sold for $9.95 and $5.00 of that went to the lighthouse.
Now they are attempting Vol II and they have chosen Sandy Neck LH in Barnstable to be the recipient.
Sandy Neck Restoration Plans A minimum of 150 recipes is needed to go to publication, and a lead time of 8 weeks is needed for production. Jim would like to have a total of 200, which would allow the cookbook to retail for $11.95 with $6.00 going to Sandy Neck. To make this work, the cookbook would need to be ready to sell during the peak season of summer and fall, 2007.
Currently, 90 recipes have been submitted, so 200 is a reachable goal, if we join forces.
Jim has said that if we here on the Forums become a good source for the recipes, then there will be a Vol III and we can choose the beneficiary.
Here are the guidelines:
- Send Jim & Ann five or six of your recipes.
- Earlybirds will have front placement in this nationally distributed cookbook.
- Mail your collection to:
CAPE ANNIE'S LIGHTHOUSE
685 Route 6A
East Sandwich, MA 02537
Jim will post updates on the count as they come in.
Can we, members of the HL Collector Forums help push this goal over the top?
If you're into cooking, this should be really easy. If you just simply like to eat, it still should be easy. How about some of your Mom's favorites?
Sitting at your computer, YOU can make a lighthouse preservation fundraiser successful.
Let's get these recipes sent to Jim, today.
Thanks for helping!
