Hauser Family Dinner Night has a new menu….”Soups On”

Planning for the annual Hauser Family Dinner night is under way and we’re hoping to tap into the many talents within our Hauser community to help make this a huge success! This will require volunteers in several areas and hopefully one or two may appeal to you.

We are looking for 20 to 25 people willing to showcase their culinary talents by donating a pot of their “special recipe” soup or chili for our ‘Soup’s On’ dinner. The size of the pots should serve at least 10 (or more ). We also need donations of desserts (homemade or not) for the dessert table. If you have the talent and/or willingness to help in either of these areas, please contact Olga Andrulis.

Next on the list are donations for Raffle Prizes. If you are interested in donating items, or if you are willing to solicit donations from area restaurants, shops, stores etc., please contact Fran Guerrieri.

Additional volunteers are needed to solicit area bakeries (Panera, Corner Bakery, Turano’s or your own favorite) for fresh, crusty breads and butter to go with the soup menu.

If anyone has contacts or ideas for advertising (and posting our flyers in area shops, churches, preschools) …we would love to hear from you! Of course, we will need volunteers the night of the dinner itself; set-up, serving, drink and dessert tables, cafeteria monitors, ticket sales for dinner and raffles, clean-up.

Last but not least, we are putting together a cookbook of favorite tried and tested soup, chili and dessert recipes from Hauser family households, binding them nicely and offering them for sale on the night of the Family Dinner. To accomplish this,we have set a deadline to submit recipes… January 6, 2009. This would allow us enough time to put them all together, get them printed and bound and to Hauser on time. All who wish to have one or more of their recipes included in the cookbook can send them to either Olga or Fran.
