Introducing our Recipe Calendar 2021
We are excited to announce that our State Recipe Calendar is now available to purchase. The sale of this calendar is a part of our ongoing, fundraising efforts. All our members work on a voluntary basis, and 100% of the profits made, go to charities here in Colorado and to the British Home for the elderly in California. These calendars will make great Christmas gifts for those Anglophiles in your life and will put a smile on every Brit's face with all the recipes that remind us of home! Every recipe has been prepared and taste tested by a great group of ladies. Such sacrifice! LOL
We would encourage you to place your orders soon with your local regent, as there is a limited amount available or you can contact Liz at dbecalendarliz@gmail.com to place your order! Each Calendar is 12x24 when hung. Printed on quality glossy paper, the recipes and photos are at the top and the calendar at the bottom. The cost per calendar is $20 with additional shipping if needed.
Thank you so much for your continued support as we navigate our way though fundraising while social distancing.

News from Colorado DBE
Home Cooked Meal for some of Denver's Homeless
Recently the Commonwealth Rose chapter made a meal, and served it, for the Women's Homeless Initiative's Monday night shelter at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral in Denver. The menu was cottage pie, salad, home made bread, and a chocolate layer pie along with a variety of sodas. We prepared food for 36: 25 overnight shelter guests and several overnight volunteers and there was not a crumb left! We had fun doing it and it was much appreciated by the homeless women and volunteers alike.
