I want to clarify some misinformation that was published recently. The community cookbook fundraiser will not be auctioned off nor is it included in the prepaid memberships. Once this project is complete, the cookbooks will be for sale for everyone with the proceeds going towards to the Pronghorn Pantry.

We do need community support with this by getting all of your yummy recipes. To submit recipes please visit www.typensave.com and enter the username and password below to access the recipe submission form.
