THANK YOU SHARING SHORES MEMBERS FOR YOUR SUPPORT
PermalinkSharing Shores Honored
2011 Community Partner of the year Award
Sharing Shores was honored with the Community Partner of the Year Award by Capital Area Family Violence Intervention Center (CAFVIC) on May 17, 2011 at Juban’s Restaurant.
Thank you to all our members, volunteers and friends who helped us in raising funds from selling our cookbook. We were able to donate $10,000 this year to the shelter and become the underwriters of the event to raise money for the Battered Women’s Program.
Tour of the shelter
We are planning to have a guided tour of the shelter on June 22 at 11:00 am. It is a great opportunity for you to see how our efforts impact the women and children at the shelter. If you are interested to join us please call or e-mail PinkiDiwan1@gmail.com
We are planning to take lunch for the families living at the shelter.
Let us know if you like to cook something for lunch.
For questions, please contact Pinki 225-772-4481.

Sharing Shores makes fundraising for your organization easy.
As you know, Sharing Shores has an award-winning cookbook, Saffron to Sassafras, that has been selling like hotcakes (or selling like hot turkey kebabs!). Now you too can use these books to raise funds for your organization, wherever you are.
We currently have groups around the United States, from Florida to Missouri, raising hundreds of dollars for their organization.
It’s so easy! Email us at anitawala [at] yahoo dot com or call us at 225-751-3928. Looking forward to hearing from you!
The women of Sharing Shores talk with NYDidi about their award winning cookbook, the food and communities that inspired it, and the people they are helping with the profits.

August Event: Sharing Shores at Northwestern State University Delta Symposium
The Louisiana Folklife Center at Northwestern State University, with funding from the Delta Initiative of the National Park Service, will hold a symposium on culture change and continuity in the Mississippi Delta Region on August 19, 20, and 21.
Sharing Shores will be part of a panel that discusses what has changed, is changing, and what efforts, individual or group, are being made to preserve traditional culture.
Participating in the symposium are community members, anthropologists, and folklorists who have worked in or are working with your community. We will all take this opportunity to share our various perspectives with each other.
Louisiana is a microcosm of the larger Delta and your contributions to its culture and that of the whole region are appreciated. Hopefully at the end of the symposium we can come up with a collective overview of our situations, as well as our solutions and directions to work together productively in the future.

Some recipes in “Saffron to Sassafras” (hardcover, $29.95), the newly released cookbook by Sharing Shores, a local nonprofit volunteer organization of women of Indian origin, might surprise the reader. While it does include traditional recipes, this community cookbook also includes such Louisiana favorites as Carrot Cake, gumbo, jambalaya and even a recipe for Eggplant and Spinach Parmesan made with Ragu sauce…
…while the book’s authors (Sharing Shores’ board of directors) are Indian- born immigrants, they today prepare food for diners who are mostly American born. And, the original idea for the lovely, 242- page cookbook was to pass down family favorites to that American born generation.
