There is still time to submit recipes for the Centennial Cookbook!
Lyndon, still in its 100 years, is going to continue its celebration by giving back to its community through the Centennial Cookbook.
This recipe book includes recipes and stories from Students, Alumni, Staff and current and former faculty, but the book needs more. The book is looking to hit a goal of 150 recipes before printing, with a little over 100 right now.
Originally, the deadline for recipes was today, but “the Committee… has agreed to extend the deadline by one more week, to Friday, Oct. 7,” said Belinda Plymak in an email.
The Centennial Cookbook committee consists of Elaine Fournier, Deborah Hughes, Lisa MacDowell, Daisy McCoy, Belinda Plymak and Tracy Sherbook, as a part of the Faculty and Staff Fun committee initiative.
Requests include but are not restricted to all current and former faculty, staff, alumni and “especially students!” said Plymak, even if you have already submitted.
Plymak said “The proceeds from the cookbook will be going to the Annual Fund which provides a source of unrestricted support to the College. The growth of this annual reserve promotes academic excellence at Lyndon through … providing scholarship support to the most deserving students, supporting faculty professional development, expanding the learning opportunities available to students, acquiring state-of-the-art academic equipment, and maintaining and improving the College’s buildings andgrounds.”
The Centennial Cookbook should be ready by the holidays, with Harry Mueller’s Print for Design class working on the design and file preparations that need to be made. Also on board, Gabrielle Benzie, who helped designed the Centennial Cookbook Poster.
The book will be sold in various locations throughout the campus.
