In October, cook a recipe for change! |
|
During the week of October 17th through 25th, invite over your friends, family, and fellow grannies and cook a meal to raise funds and help us turn the tide of HIV/AIDS in Africa! The goal is for 1,000 dinners (or brunches, lunches or teas) to take place across Canada, as part of our national challenge to raise $2 million for the Turn the TIde Campaign. Read this Recipes for Change "how to" kit - which includes ideas on how to organize a meal, some sample recipes, and tips on how to get media coverage of your event - and the cover letter that we recently sent to your group contacts. And keep an eye on the website and the Granny Bulletins for more information throughout the summer!
