GPYC is in need of couches, sectionals, or comfy office chairs in fairly good condition.

Please give Youth right of first refusal if you, or someone you know,

are planning to get rid of your old stuff!

 We are always in need of sponsors to provide dinners throughout the New Year!

                                           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!
