ECRW Recipes for the Future
The Ellis County Republican Women are selling their cookbooks to raise funds for their Inez Lewis Scholarship award for local high school seniors. Treasured Recipes is ECRW’s first cookbook publication of over 500 recipes, including many from Ellis County elected officials. Recipes for traditional Southern cuisine, Tex-Mex and easy dishes for beginners can be found in the cookbook.
“We have a lot of good cooks in ECRW, and we thought the best way to use our experience with cooking was to compile our recipes and use the cookbooks as a fundraiser for our many community outreach programs,” commented Tommie Worthy, treasurer and scholarship committee chair. “We also feel that one of the best ways to encourage future leaders of Ellis County is to provide scholarships for deserving students to continue their education.”
The Inez Lewis Scholarship was established in 2002 when Congressman Joe Barton approached ECRW and stated that he wanted to start a $1,000 scholarship to honor Lewis for her volunteer service at his office and for starting ECRW in 1982. Since 2003, ECRW has been able to award $1,000 scholarships to two applicants each year because of the generosity of citizens that contribute to ECRW fundraising efforts such as the cookbook.
Ellis County ISD high school seniors who are eligible to apply for the scholarship can find applications at their school counselor’s office. The deadline for entry is March 8, 2013. Eligibility requirements include graduating in the top 25% of the class, a copy of the SAT/ACT scores, and a two-page autobiography detailing the applicant’s involvement in school, church, community and political activities, including student government.
The Ellis County Republican Women’s club was founded in 1982, and continues to be a strong resource for women to learn more about elections and political processes. The group meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Ellis County Republican Party Headquarters, 201 Ferris Avenue. For more information, visit www.ecrw.org.
Cookbooks are $16.25 including tax and can be purchased by contacting Kim Garlitz at 972-923-9208 or kim.garlitz@gmail.com or any ECRW member.
