Dancers: Help Illustrate the Eire Born Cookbook!

All NPIDA dancers are invited to submit illustrations for the upcoming Eire Born cookbook! As per Leanne's e-mail to NPIDA families yesterday:

Any dancer (of any age) can submit drawings that will be used in the book. Our preference is for pictures that relate to Irish dancing or any type of food. Any and all submissions should be on plain white photocopy (computer) paper with only black lines (or dark pencil). Parents, all drawings should be left in envelopes for Leanne in North Van. I’m often in Richmond on Fridays. Please don’t fold the paper. Deadline is next Wednesday, October 31.

Please make sure that the name and age of the dancer is on each drawing submitted.

Parents: It is also not too late to submit recipes for the cookbook! If you haven't already done so, please send your recipe(s) to Leanne at the e-mail address below no later than October 31.

The Eire Born cookbook can now be pre-ordered; the cost is $20 with all proceeds going to the Eire Born Irish Dance Society. Please submit your cookbook orders to eireborncookbookATgmail.com

EBIDS Cookbook Needs Your Contributions!

From EBIDS:

The fundraising committee of EBIDS (Eire Born Irish Dance Society) is taking on the task of creating and selling a Cook Book. You know those recipes that everyone asks for, well now is the time to share! We hope to have a wide variety and would very much like to include sections that include healthy food for children as well as special diets, including gluten, wheat and/or dairy free.

In order to keep the recipes following a similar pattern and therefore make the book useful and easy to follow, please send your recipe in the following format, preferably in a Word document. Please note anything special about your recipe like “gluten free”.

Name of item:
How many are served:
Ingredients:
Instructions:

Please submit your recipes to this e-mail address:
eireborncookbook@gmail.com

EBIDS will be compiling the cookbook over the next 6 weeks, and hope to have it for sale at both studios in time for Christmas. Thank you in advance for everyone’s contributions! We hope that all NPIDA families will consider this a fun project and will contribute. The wider the variety the better so if you have more than one, please feel free to submit as many as you like!

Are you coming to the Eire Born (performance company) meeting tomorrow (Sunday September 23, 4:00-5:30PM)? You can bring your  recipe(s) at that time and give them directly to Leanne A (even if you have not yet had time to type them).

Many Thanks!
