GIFT IDEA!! Semper Fi Fund Cookbook

GIFT IDEA!! Semper Fi Fund Cookbook
Our very own member, Gladys Rodriguez, originally from Cuba, wanted to give back to her adopted country by supporting our wounded Marines through the Semper Fi Fund. The second cookbook, Recipes from Across the World, was published in 2014 and is a great gift idea for friends, family, teachers or anyone else! Each cookbook costs $10 and will be available at MASC's November and December luncheons. To date, over $70,000 has been raised (including funds matched by GoDaddy.com). This cookbook would not have been possible without the valuable help of countless Marines’ family members and supporters including MASC members Paula Rybka, Carol Kuginski, Emily Sanborn and Gladys.
