Delilah Winder, the phenomenal chef whose secret recipe was used to make MANNA’s sweet potato pie, has written a new book. Delilah’s Everyday Soul is a poignant, timely, and unique book that speaks to the way in which food and life merge everyday. In the spirit of renowned works by Edna Lewis, Nathalie Dupree, Damon Lee Fowler, and others, it colorfully combines recipes and the essential components of cooking with the stories and events that have inspired Chef Delilah Winder and her passion for food." Nothing could be a better gift for the chef you know than a signed copy of Delilah Winder's new book. On Saturday, December 9 from 11 AM-1 PM, Delilah will be at Foster’s Gourmet Cookware in Reading Terminal Market for a cooking demonstration. Ms. Winder will prepare some of the Southern-inspired recipes from her new cookbook, Delilah’s Everyday Soul. Afterwards, Delilah will be signing books in the Center Court until 4:00 PM.

Help MANNA celebrate the 15th anniversary of
Shut Up & Dance and honor the dedication of the
dancers of Pennsylvania Ballet by placing an ad in
the 2007 Shut Up & Dance souvenir book.
Shut Up &
Dance is a one-night-only benefit performance
for
MANNA, performed by dancers of Pennsylvania Ballet.
The performance of original works - choreographed

This Holiday Season many of you are receiving
invitations to holiday parties. Some
of you may be planning parties of your own. Think
back to gatherings that you’ve been to in the past -
many times the host receives countless bottles of
wine,
scented candles or other gifts.
One interesting idea Jay Donner and Wendell
Jones had when they hosted a birthday-anniversary
party was to have guests make a contribution to
MANNA. Rather than bringing a gift with them to the
party; guest were asked to donate their money in
support of MANNA. One advantage of this idea is
that guests
don’t have to fret over what type of present to give;
in addition, they will feel better knowing that their
gift will be used for someone in need. So when
you’re looking for a gift to give your host or
looking for a unique theme for your party this year,
try the traditional idea of "Giving for the
Holidays" and remember MANNA.

December 1st was World AIDS Day and
M•A•C Cosmetics (one of MANNA’s most
substantial corporate supporters) and a former
MANNA client
were featured on CN8's “Your Morning.” Catherine is
HIV positive and received MANNA meals. When she
was interviewed about the impact of the meal
program she said, "MANNA saved my life. I feel truly
blessed." Her health has now improved so much that
she no longer needs to receive meals from MANNA.
M•A•C Cosmetics gave Catherine a makeover on air
to promote this year’s new shade of
VIVA Glam. M•A•C introduced
VIVA Glam in 1994; all money raised from
VIVA Glam products go to the M•A•C AIDS Fund to
support the fight against HIV/AIDS. M•A•C Cosmetics
has introduced a new shade of VIVA Glam just in time
for the Holidays. To learn more about this product
and how you can look great while joining in the fight
against HIV/AIDS, check out
M•A•C Cosmetics.
