I'm not trying to be a downer but I don't think it's as simple as us just saying "great idea, let's do it"

You are very right, and I was hoping admin would come around and see this idea and let us know what he thinks.

Yes, money would have to be up front.

I really don't want to be in charge, it was my idea so someone else can be in charge lol

I will help out any way I can though. Let's see what admin thinks and go from there!

Maybe you could get a count of how many people would be serious about buying a cookbook once you figure out how much it would cost. I don't think it's really that difficult of a task other than getting people to get their recipes in on time. From the company our ICU worked with, they supplied the template for the recipes and we just copied as many off as we needed (each person did this themselves I think...it was quite awhile ago)...what I mean is, we got a blank recipe form and then we copied off a bunch of them. I think it would be a good idea too, to post a standardized measuring abbreviation table, since there's so many people who aren't sure what the difference between things like "t" or "T" is. That way, it wouldn't be confusing. Actually, it could all be done online (doh....) and just emailed to whoever was in charge. I think we charged $5 for each cookbook (this was a LONG time ago and it wasnt' that voluminous), but if people would send in an order with payment ahead, with a deadline for it (and then if there were extras, they would be offered for sale at a later date), then it would cover the cost of the whole thing upfront. Just an idea. Not sure how good it is, but I tried, LOL.

That's what I was thinking, too.

What a great idea! I hate to cook but love cookbooks. What a good idea this would be to raise money for YT or a rescue group. I am for the idea l00%.
