With locations in 14 southern Manitoba communities, each Sunrise branch chose its own local project or charitable organization to donate the proceeds to. “It was important to our staff to keep all the money raised from the sale of each book, working in and for each of the local communities that Sunrise is a part of,” says Tammy Gillis Waldon, Office Supervisor, Cypress River branch.

The idea for a cookbook was developed at a team-building event where staff representing each Sunrise community came up with the idea to create something unique and of value to bring benefit to their communities. The end result is a beautiful coil bound, 182 page cookbook with 357 tried and true recipes from Appetizers and Salads, to Main Dishes and Desserts.

A lot of care went into this book. “Prior to publishing, some of our staff held a potluck style lunch to give colleagues a chance to sample their recipes. Not only did this help get everyone excited about the project, but trying out some of the dishes was a tasty treat!” says Lori Taylor, Deposit & Member Service Support, Hartney Branch.
