Belle Appétit - Class of 2019 (846019-608500)
From the Class of 2019:
Hello Saint Mary's Community!
We are very happy to announce the cookbook is finally on sale! We set up an online order form in order to reach the most amount of people.
You can purchase the cookbook for $20 until October 5th. After that date, the books will still be on sale but the price will be raised.
Along with selling the cookbook, we are also selling hot pads for $15.
If you purchase them together, it is $30.
Shipping is $9. If you are a student, professor or faculty at Saint Mary's, you can pick your order up on campus.
The cookbook is a padded hard cover and a picture of the front is included in this post along with a photo of the hot pad. The form doesn't allow pictures to be included so that is why they are attached here.
The link to the form is: https://reslifesmc.wufoo.com/forms/rofaihc0zt3x1f/.
You can expect to receive your cookbook within the first 2 weeks of October.
If you have any questions about anything, please contact Sofia Scott, [email protected] or Sophie Johnson, [email protected].
