Dear Pittsburgh Chapter!

Lake County Chapter of TCF is in the process of producing and publishing a cookbook (entitled "Compassionate Cookbook") as a fundraiser for the building of our Butterfly Memorial Garden , and would like to know if any of your members would like to be included in it!

We are asking for members to submit recipes (at no charge!) to be included in our cookbook. We are trying to include all Ohio and Pennsylvania chapters or as many as we can contact. We would like the recipe and then the name of the child to whom the recipe will be dedicated to. For example, "Chicken Casserole in loving memory of Jane Smith." As I said, there is no charge for a recipe to be included. We are also offering, for a $10 charge, the opportunity for a 1" x 1" black and white picture of your members' child to be included in our cookbook.

Our goal is to collect all recipes by December 31, 2006. Recipes can be submitted to a special email address we have set up. That address is www.compassionatecookbook@yahoo.com or to my email address: www.kgipson585@netzero.net .

If anyone cannot email and want to use regular mail, our address is:

The Compassionate Friends,

P.O. Box 5084 ,

Willowick, OH 44095 .

Thank you so very much and we would be honored if many of your members would consider having their recipe in memory of their child included in this awesome cookbook! We will keep you posted as we progress!
