Announces Collaboration with the CMTA Cookbook

Alphabet Soup...The ABC's of Comfort Food for " Shattered Nerves "

http://www.cmtausa.org/recipe

Tie on your aprons, fire up your ovens, and get out your favorite, comforting

recipes! The CMTA is pleased to announce the compilation of a new cookbook to

raise funds for its STAR(Strategy to Accelerate Research) initiative, and your

help is needed.

You must have a few favorite recipes that warm the heart and comfort the soul,

and now you can share them with the rest of the world.

Spearheaded by New England CMTA Support Group Leader Mark Boxshus, the Alphabet

Soup cookbook project will include your favorite crowd pleasers in a keepsake

edition, created in a collaborative effort between the CMTA and the .

One lucky participant will also win the Grand Prize and have a Special Feature

Page about his or her award-winning recipe, so please use the " Note/Story "

section of the submission form to say what is special about your recipe, or what

memories or thoughts it brings to mind.

Your recipes and stories will help make Alphabet Soup a meaningful and enduring

memento, and you will want to display it proudly in your kitchen or pass it

along to other family members. You may even want extra copies available for gift

giving occasions all year long.

Please consider joining the CMTA since membership in the association is FREE

during their 25th Anniversary Celebration (

https://secure.charcot-marie-tooth.org/join.php). You are also encouraged to

solicit recipes from your family members and friends.

If you are good friends with the Obama family or former Presidential families,

by all means ask them for a recipe or two!

100% of all proceeds from Alphabet Soup will go directly towards finding a cure

for CMT, through the STAR initiative. So get involved today and start digging

out those recipes!

Submissions will be accepted until May 31, 2009, and all selected recipes will

be tested thoroughly to ensure specified results.

And if you're the type that has more take out menus than recipes, but you would

like to be involved without getting your hands dirty, you can simply make a

donation to the CMTA Cookbook Project. All donations received will be used to

fund the expenses associated with the production of this book, and your

participation will be noted on our " Sponsor Page " . Sponsors will have their name

printed in this section without the donation amount. Please send your monetary

gift to the CMTA, 2700 Chestnut Street, Chester, PA 19013. Make sure to put a

note specifying that your gift is for the " CMTA cookbook project " .

Also, if you've got a favorite local chef or culinary celebrity that's a " Who's

Who " in your community, ask them if they'd like to donate a recipe or make a

donation to our book. Don't be shy! It's for a worthy cause, and tax deductible

as well.
