About the Cookbook

WHAT-
On behalf of junior guard Lauren Mioton, a New Orleans- area native, and the Purdue women’s basketball program, the BOILERmaker NETwork will be handling orders for the Live to Eat
Cookbook. The recipes compiled in the cookbook are from Purdue players, coaches,
alumnae and fans. Funds raised from the sale of the cookbook will benefit the Lake
Pontchartrain Basin Foundation to aid wetland preservation and restoration.

WHY –
Hurricane Damage.
This Foundation was established in 1989 to restore the health of the lake and its rivers and to protect the natural habitat of the Basin. Preliminary estimates suggested that in excess of 40 square miles of wetlands were lost after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This exceeds by 130% the amount of wetlands the Basin lost to natural erosion processes from 1990 to 2000. As wetlands provide the first line of defense for hurricane storm surges and help to minimize flooding, now more than ever the community of southeast Louisiana must focus on restoring these critical coastal resources and protecting those wetlands that remain.

HOW –
To Order Your Copy/Copies Cost of the cookbook is $20 per copy which includes shipping and handling. Cookbook orders will be taken until March 1, with distribution expected to begin in mid-
February. An order form is included below, and can also be obtained at the NETwork table in Mackey, on the NETwork website www.boilermakernetwork.com, or CLICK HERE !

project.
