Junior Service League cooks up recipe book for the first time in more than 30 years
JSL
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused Junior Service League to look for fundraising opportunities to substitute for in-person fundraisers. In place of the annual Ragin’ Cajun event, JSL is offering a collection of recipes for the first time in more than 30 years.
The cookbook contains more than 600 recipes, all submitted by JSL members. The book is broken up into sections with Shawnee-themed titles and artwork from popular Shawnee landmarks.
“These recipes are near and dear to the JSL members who submitted,” said Amanda Johnson. “The book includes some recipes from the version that was last published.”
“Then people started donating food and meals, and the supermarkets started giving us stuff, and a whole army of volunteers offered to pack and deliver it.
“We helped people with things like picking up prescriptions, and set up care meals for the elderly and isolated. That means 15-20 meals a day delivered now, which we will continue.
“But while the White Hart gets given credit there are so many others in the community that have gone above and beyond to help people.”
Other places with a high number of Covid deaths are Downham Market, Dereham and Necton.
The village of Hethersett sits at the opposite end of the scale, with just two Covid-related deaths recorded since March last year.

Head of fundraising and communications Hugo Stevenson said: We wanted to organise an activity that was open to all and would capture positive images from our local environment, homes, or gardens during lockdown. We have chosen the following themes for the competition – ‘Norfolk’, ‘Compassion’, ‘Pink’ and ‘Snowdrops’. Just as the snowdrop symbolises hope, being the first flower to bloom after winter, we believe these everyday images will capture a spirit of hopefulness for the future. The best images will be reproduced in our 2022 charity calendar, and as a selection of greetings cards to raise funds for the appeal.
The competition will be judged by local photographer Julia Holland from All About Image, who will provide a photo shoot for the winning entrant.
