A NUTTY APPROACH TO FUNDRAISING

Selling fresh pecans has been a New York Smith Club tradition for more than 25 years. A few years ago we introduced chocolate-covered pecans, a truly addictive treat, to our selection. Once again we are offering our updated pecan cookbook "More Cooking with Pecans," with many new ideas for serving pecans. Whichever way you buy them, each pack contains one pound of regular mammoth pecan halves or 12 ounces of the chocolate-covered pecans. Buy in bulk to share with your friends and co-workers, or even to present as hostess gifts.

As always, a portion of each sale goes directly to the Smith College Scholarship Fund.

Orders take up to four weeks for delivery, so you must order now to have pecans in time for holiday giving.

Dorothy Guth '50 initiated the pecan sales after noting their popularity at Smith Clubs around the country. She contacted Craig Claiborne, then food editor of the New York Times. He wrote an article on the Smith pecans and a tradition began.
