                                           Cookbook Update (as of Dec. 15^th)

 We received 440 cookbooks from Morris Press 2 days before the Taste of Grace. We have sold 367 cookbooks. We have received funds totaling $5,224.75.  The cookbooks cost us $3,270.00 and that bill has been paid, leaving us with a profit of $1,954.75.  The Library ministry has approved the purchase of another bookcase, using some of this money.

 We have about 60 cookbooks left and they are going fast! The cookbook makes a wonderful Christmas gift, so if you forgot someone on your list, they are only $15. I you haven’t gotten yours, better hurry!
