40th Anniversary Cookbook

 

One idea that we hope will get everyone’s attention is that of a JGS “Family” Cookbook for our 40th anniversary. Every November at our annual end-of-the-year party, you simply amaze us with the wonderful eats you bring. We want those recipes!

 

We would like each member to send us at least 4 family recipes for the cookbook. More is good! E-mailing them will save us countless hours of typing. In the subject line please place JGS Recipe. E-mail them to Ann Staley at astaley@comcast.net or Jim Laird at jlaird@bellsouth.net or to the society website at jaxgen@comcast.net. No computer or email, no problem. Send them to JGS at P.O. Box 60756, Jacksonville, FL 32236-0756.

 

Writing recipes is often times not as easy as it sounds so please double check all measurements and ingredients. If you care to put a short note about the recipe you may do so at the end of the recipe with “Note.” ….

 

Please send them in now! If we could have those family treasures soon, the publisher will have the needed time to work his magic for us.
