The town of Dendron will be one hundred years old in 2006! To help celebrate this milestone, the historical society has chosen to publish a unique cookbook. Not a "run of the mill" book where all ingredients lead only to a delicious dish, but one that will also delight the reader's imagination as we remember tales and tidbits from Dendron's past. As you submit your favorite recipe, the committee requests that you mention your personal ties to Dendron or remark about some story or tale you remember from your past while living or visiting the town. To help jog your memory about these incidents, several ideas are included for reference.

• What are your memories of Dendron?... the ones that make you smile or laugh, ... the ones that bring you pleasure in remembering?
  
  
• What are your memories of the Dendron Town Hall?...the ice cream parlor? ...the movie theater?
  
  
• What years did you attend or teach or work at the Dendron School? What are your best (or worst) memories of school?
  
  
• What are your memories (if you're old enough) of Surry Lumber Company or the SS & S Railroad or the big fire?
  
  
• Please share your own personal Dendron memories or those of an ancestor or friend who told you of their times in Dendron.

Feel free to copy the Recipe Sheet if you wish to submit more than one recipe.

The committee is preparing to send the materials in to the publisher by July 2005. We ask that you submit your recipes and notations as soon as possible. There is a great deal of work to be done. Please feel free to call any committee member if you have questions. Thank you for your support and interest.
