Local Firm Hosts Benefit Cookbook Sale To Aid
American Red Cross Disaster Fund

York, PA – Employees of GGS Information Services, a leading technical information services firm located on Farmtrail Road in York, recently raised more than $700 in proceeds from a Holiday Family & Friends Cookbook sale, with contributions earmarked for the Disaster Fund of The American Red Cross.

Jeffrey Varnes, Executive Director of the York chapter of the American Red Cross, recently accepted a company check on behalf of the national organization, thanking GGS for its fund-raising efforts with the holiday project, which ran from December 21 until January 21.

Noted Paul Kilker, company President, "We at GGS support our local communities through many worthwhile programs on an annual basis, such as The United Way. Our Holiday Cookbook Project allowed us the opportunity this past year to join with many other proud Americans in helping support Red Cross efforts directed towards those in our country, who were affected by the significant events of 2001."Designed and produced by employees in the firm’s prepress and composition services areas, the Cookbook includes recipes collected from among the firm’s 300 employees, as well as family members and business associates.

The company plans to produce a second edition of its Family & Friends Cookbook, with copies available sometime in mid-December of 2002.
