On Friday, November 13, Sister Schubert, the special guest of Grand Boulevard’s Restaurant Week, drew the winning name for the $1,000 shopping spree live on the radio! And the winner is…Susan Brindley! Sister also signed copies of her new cookbook Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters and met with fans as guests “dined for a cause” as part of Grand Boulevard’s Restaurant Week benefiting the Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center.

Sister Schubert’s recent trip to Huntsville, Alabama was an amazing success! Over 900 women attended the Christian Women’s Job Corps Circles Luncheon  at the Von Braun Civic Center where Sister Schubert was the guest speaker on November 6, 2009. The event celebrated the achievements of women in the community who have overcome difficult circumstances to improve themselves, their families and those around them.

The following day, Sister conducted a cooking demonstration and book signing  to a sold-out crowd of 95 people at the 25th Annual Under the Christmas Tree Market presented by Randolph School. This was a special treat for Sister since not only did she get to raise funds for a great school, but she had the opportunity to cook with her daughter Chrissie of Chrissie Schubert’s Homemade Treats for the event!

On November 13 at 6:00 p.m., Sister Schubert will be signing copies of her new book, Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters, at Grand Boulevard at Sandestin in Miramar Beach, Florida. Grand Boulevard’s Restaurant Week takes place Tuesday, November 9 through Friday, November13, and will feature exceptional menus at reduced prices from its five signature restaurants. Menus range in price from $15 to $32.95, and one dollar of every meal sold will benefit the Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center. As the special guest for Grand Boulevard’s Restaurant Week, Sister will be announcing the winner of their $1,000 shopping spree at 7:30 p.m. in Grand Park. You won’t want to miss this wonderful event!

Sister Schubert was recently interviewed on NPR affiliate WUWF about her new cookbook, Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters and her Ukrainian orphanage, Sasha’s Home, which her book sales benefit through her charitable organization Barnes Family Foundation. Click here to listen to the full interview.
