FUNdraising. These are our creative, self-funding ideas:

1) In early 2010 we announced our idea for the Sizzling with Stepfamilies Cookbook. Recipe collection efforts have started to record with Heritage Cookbooks: Today we're actively seeking recipes from individuals, businesses, corporations and organizations of all sizes. This is a great opportunity to promote your product or service. Like fine wine, the wait is going to make this a fine and tasty cookbook!

E-mail your recipe/s to StraightTalk@StepfamilySystems.com with "Recipe" in the subject box. We believe wholeheartedly encourage sharing meals together and creating shared-memories.

2) Recycling - we'll pick up your bottles and cans within 15 miles of Corona, CA
