Welcome
to Daphne's newsletter, affectionately referred to as "Bunny Bulletins"
in honor and memory of my loving bunnies that have given me so much joy
over the years.
I'm
always looking for new ideas to share with my clients. Your input is
greatly appreciated. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

First
of all, please accept my apologies for missing the August Newsletter.I
kind of did a "crash and burn" after the Relay for Life event at the
end of July.
To better serve you, we have decided to go to a bi-monthly format for our newsletter. We will always keep you updated if something special is coming up!
RED, BLUE, WHITE....... FIGHT..... FOR THE CURE!
RELAY FOR LIFE 2007
By the way, it was the best one yet! This was out 5th year having a team and it was wonderful! I have the most amazing group of volunteers! We had some "logistic" hurdles to overcome but we bounced back even better than before. Planning begins in February with numerous meetings and fund-raisers leading up to our event in July each year.

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER RECIPE
Macaroni and Cheese
(modified version of Martha Stewart's recipe)
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 5 cups milk
- 1 lb. cooked elbow macaroni
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 c. shredded gruyere cheese
- bread crumbs
Melt butter and stir in flour with a whisk. Whisk in milk slowly, one cup at a time, bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes creamy and thickened. Remove from heat. Whisk in nutmeg, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Reserve a small amount of cheddar & gruyere cheese for topping. Stir in remaining cheeses to flour mixture. Add macaroni. Turn mixture into a baking dish. Spread reserved cheeses on top and sprinkle bread crumbs over all. Bake at 375 degrees 45 - 60 minutes.
DAPHNE'S QUOTE
"THE GOOD TEACHER"
" Say all that man has ever said about a good teacher, and you won't say half enough. The great teacher gives more than ideas- ideals, more than facts- inspiration, more than cold answers- warm provocations to think, more than knowledge of the past- a challenge for the future.
They deal with the noblest work of God and man's only real value, which is man himself; for all other values, no matter how great they are, relate to him.
The excellent teacher makes the ideal teaching situation, no matter how many aids are lacking."
-Leroy Brownlow
