> NFB Division and Affiliate Presidents:
>
> As most of you will know, the Braille Monitor publishes each month a
> recipe column at the end of our magazine. We usually include recipe
> submissions from our affiliates, making our way through the states
> alphabetically. With the January 2010 issue, we will have made our way
> around the entire list of states again.
>
> Before we cycle our way through the affiliates again, I thought I would
> see if any of our national divisions would like to submit recipes for
> this column. If your division is interested, please simply write back to
> me indicating your division's interest, and I will prepare a list of
> divisions that have committed to participate in this effort. We will
> present recipes from divisions in alphabetical order. Once we have
> exhausted submissions from our divisions, we will begin publishing
> recipes from our list of state affiliates again. Please indicate your
> division's interest in participating in the recipe column of the Braille
> Monitor no later than Monday, November 30, 2009. After this date, I will
> generate a submission schedule and let each interested division know of
> their submission month. If I do not receive a reply from a particular
> division, I will assume that your division is not interested in
> participating in this opportunity.
>
> Generally we urge our affiliates to offer recipes that are unique to
> their region of the country or are reflective of certain seasons of the
> year. IN this way, the column remains interesting and diverse. This is
> just a guideline, though, and affiliates are free to submit whatever
> material they wish. In the case of divisions that are based not on
> geography but are organized around common vocational interests or other
> recreational goals, it will be your challenge to see if you can develop
> a theme unique to your division, but again submissions of any type are
> ultimately going to be fine.
>
> We publish six recipes per month. In addition to the six recipes, we ask
> submitters to provide a brief one or two sentence biography about each
> person responsible for a recipe. If one person submits all six for an
> affiliate or division, we only need one biographical statement; if three
> people offer two recipes for one of our entities, we need three
> biographical statements. These recipes and biographical details should
> be sent to me as an attachment to an email. Our schedule requires that
> recipes be submitted by the last Friday of the month preceding the month
> that your entity is slated to be published. By way of example, recipes
> due to be printed in January 2010 should be to me no later than the last
> Friday of November 2009.
>
> I look forward to hearing from our division leaders as to your interest
> in participating in the recipe column for the Braille Monitor. Should
> you have questions, please feel free to be in touch with me. My contact
> details are below in my signature block.
>
> Finally, I hope that this restatement of our practice for publishing
> recipes in the Braille Monitor has been helpful to all of our affiliate
> and division leaders. Keep an eye on the column so that you can
> anticipate when your affiliate or division is next scheduled to be
> published. I will, of course, contact particular affiliates or divisions
> when its time is drawing near, but your attention to this schedule will
> help keep this column running smoothly. Many of our members and
> non-members alike learn from and value the fact that blind people enjoy
> cooking. This column, in addition to promoting the family atmosphere of
> our organization, continues to be an effective means of educating people
> about our capacity as blind people. Thank you for your attention and
> involvement in our recipe column.

> With Kind Regards,
