The Samuel Osher Memorial Library Committee is very excited to announce that they are compiling a very special Library 20th Anniversary Cookbook filled with your favorite Congregation Etz Chaim recipes! Monies raised from sales of the completed cookbook will benefit the SOM Library Fund for books and materials.
To have the cookbook ready in time for the Library’s 20th Anniversary in November 2019, recipes will be collected until September 1, 2019. The cookbook will feature many potluck favorites from over the years, including the famous Etz Chaim Challah recipe and Marc’s Famous Latkes, along with family heirlooms collected from Congregation members and friends. Our goal is to have 300 recipes so please share your favorites!
You can share recipes with the Library Committee by sending a recipe by mail
(P. O. Box 905, Kennebunk, ME 04043) or by email (library@etzchaimme.org) or by filling out a recipe blank available at the Library. There is a space for a note about the recipe–we hope you will share a brief history of the recipe or a dedication to the person who created it.
You can also share recipes by going online to www.typensave.com. Our user name is Library Etz Chaim and the password to contribute recipes is blender220.
Pre-ordering your cookbook, and those that you need for gifts, will guarantee that you get a copy in time for 2019 Hanukkah baking and gifting. Pre-ordered cookbooks will cost $18. Cookbooks purchased after the November 2019 delivery will be $25.
To help defray costs of publishing, the Library Committee will sell memorials or dedications for $18 each, and will sell advertisements beginning at $36 each. Please see one of the committee members for more information: Maureen King, Julie Campisi, Susan Pierce, and Sue Rubin.
And of course, if you have questions or if you’d like to help with the Anniversary Cookbook, please reach out to the Library Committee at library@etzchaimme.org or call 207-284-5771 and leave a message.
Look for an email or USPS mail with more details coming in January! The Library page at www.etzchaimme.org has a link to the Anniversary Cookbook recipe contribution page.
Thanks for your ongoing support of the Samuel Osher Memorial Library!!
