Calling all Recipes
The wfla Education and Charitable Foundation will be
offering a cookbook for purchase in 2011. It would be an excellent gift
or a great addition to your own collection. The cookbook is a fundraiser
for the Foundation to help provide scholarships for our college-bound
members.
We would love recipes from everyone and hope every
family will contribute to the cookbook. Think of dishes and desserts
that have been a big hit, not only for your family, but also at lodge
gatherings over the years. Recipes that have appeared in the magazine
can be submitted for this cookbook. If you would like to submit more
than one recipe, feel free to copy the form. Recipes will be included in
the cookbook on a first-come first-serve basis. This sheet can be
completed on our website: www.wflains.org/kitchen.asp and printed and
sent to us.
Please read the instructions before completing the
Recipe Collection Sheet. Mail to: Fraternal Department, Western
Fraternal Life Association, 1900 First Ave NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402.
All recipes must be received by November
30, 2010. Click

Congratulations to our 2010 Scholarship
Winners!
We are
always thrilled to announce another round of scholarship

more difficult for students to reach their educational goals. That is
why wfla is proud to offer 25 scholarships to ease the financial
burden of college expenses.
This year 89
qualified members applied for the National Scholarship. The applicants
were judged by Director of Financial Aid at Mt. Mercy College, Bethany
Rinderknecht; Financial Aid Advisor at Kirkwood Community College,
Matt Falduto; and Director of Financial Aid at Coe College, Barb
Hoffman. Applicants for 2011/2012 school year will be accepted
beginning this September. Applications and all documentation are due
