Recipes in the cookbook were solicited from cancer survivors at the Relay

for Life event at the fairgrounds in May. Many recipes inside the book have

dedications to cancer patients and family members who have not survived cancer.

A few celebrity recipes are also included. Former United States President

Jimmy Carter's wife, Rosalynn, submitted an old family recipe called "Plains

Special Cheese Ring." Governor Sonny Perdue's wife, Mary Perdue,

a recent breast cancer patient herself, submitted a recipe for Crab Chowder.

Peachtree City's mayor, Steve Brown, submitted Tomato-Pesto Tart.

Friends of Armbruster and Stitt met recently at the Stitt's home to

wrap each cookbook in a fabric bandana, and attach a thank you note to the

Cattle Baron patrons. Additional books are available for sale to the public

for the cost of $10. These books would make a very special gift to anyone,

especially someone who has been touched by cancer.

The Cattle Barons' Ball is a major source of funding for the American

Cancer Society. Last years' inaugural event raised $95,000 for local

programs of the American Cancer Society, which are made available to our

community free of charge as wells as funding research and development. Tickets

to the Second annual Cattle Barons' Ball are still available. To order

tickets or a cookbook contact Sheri Waynick, community income manager, American

Cancer Society, Fayette County at 770-460-8920.
