Cookbook sales benefit FISH

Proceeds from the sale of a new cookbook will benefit FISH Food Banks. The self-proclaimed "Iron Chefs of General Plastics," a group of seven co-workers, have created their own cookbook, What's Cookin' at GP. The seven -- Cindy Bohnert, Adam Blanchard, Rory Endsley, Carenna Lan, Jerry Langston, Bob Coty and Shelly Holland -- were selected by their employer, General Plastics Manufacturing of Tacoma, to attend a college course in Manufacturing Management Teamwork Essentials. They decided to compile a book of their favorite recipes as their class project.

In their book, they write:

We, the authors of this book, consider ourselves to be extremely fortunate that we are employed and able to put food on our tables for ourselves and our families while so many in our community cannot. For this reason, we've decided to use some of the proceeds from this book to help our neighbors put food on their tables.

We will donate a majority of the profits from the sale of this book to FISH Food Banks of Pierce County.

And we at FISH are very grateful for their generosity! The book sells for $10 and we will have copies available for sale at the FISH Food Benefit Concert on Saturday, May 1 at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
