Hi everyone,

 

As part of our Big Read celebration of Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake, we're sending out a call for family recipes or stories. This is open to all ages and anyone is welcome to participate.   

 

Details can be found at https://bigreaddearborn.org/call-for-entries/ (I’ve attached the flyer).

 

Family recipes - here’s mainly what we’re looking for:

                -Recipes passed down from generation to generation, or

                -something Grandma (or Grandpa, or some relative) used to make, or

                -any original family recipe

 

Family stories – here’s mainly what we’re looking for:

                -Immigrant stories

                -Name stories: do you have a funny or interesting story about how you got your name? Or a story concerning your name or a relative’s name in some way?

                -Family history – do you have a story you’d like to share about Grandma or some other relative? It’s all part of the history.

                -Family tree: have you done any research on your family tree? Got any interesting tidbits to share?

 

Length: 1-4 pages, double or single spaced. If it’s a little longer or shorter, that’s fine too.

 

The deadline is October 31, 2017.

 

Hope you are considering submitting a family recipe or story! Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thank you!

Best wishes,

 

Henry
