I Can't Cook, But I Know Someone Who Can

 

Last September, Stacey Simms came out with her new book, "I Can't Cook, but I know Someone Who Can."  This fun Charlotte cookbook, with some of the best chefs in town contributing recipes includes Stacey sharing her own kitchen disaster stories.  The point of the project was to raise money and awareness for JDRF.

At our Harris Teeter Golf Classic on June 8th, Stacey made her first donation from book sales in the amount of $10,000!!!

Stacey says she hopes to make another donation this fall...so book sales continue!  This is a great gift for weddings, showers, and graduations.  In addition to bookstores and Amazon, you can buy it at WBT.com-be sure to use the promotion code "JDRF' and save $10.  Thank you to Stacey for donating the proceeds from the book and to everyone who purchased (and who will purchase) the cookbook.  Stacey is also available to sell cookbooks or to speak at community events.

To learn more, or to purchase a cookbook, go to http://www.staceysimms.com/.

Stacey also writes a monthly blog, often including topics about dealing with her son's diabetes.  To read Stacey's blog, go to blog.wbt.com/stacey.   

 

 

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation chapters in North Carolina are ready to take your order for the new JDRF license plate. For each license plate sold, JDRF will receive $10.00!

Before the DMV will authorize the first plate to be produced, 300 applications with payment must be received.  North Carolina has received 166 applications so far.  All applications should be sent to JDRF's Triangle/Eastern NC Chapter. The license plate will cost $20 for a regular JDRF plate or $50 for a personalized JDRF plate. This fee is in addition to the annual vehicle license plate fee.

By purchasing a JDRF license plate, you will help support research to find a cure for diabetes. Show your support for JDRF as you ride down the road. To apply for a JDRF license plate, CLICK HERE.
