Unique Fundraising Opportunity

Edgar Poe Symmes, III, author of several inspirational books, is pleased to

present, a unique fundraising opportunity for students/schools/booster/clubs/individuals/
organizations/church groups, etc. Through the sale of the “Sports Scholarships: The
Information Book” and “Mom’s Old Cooking Book”, published by Edgar Poe Symmes,
III; fundraisers can earn up to $5.00 per sale of each book sold. In addition Symmes
offers college Scholarships and/or bonuses which he gives back through the fundraising
programs each year.

“Sports Scholarships: The Information Book”

The book, “Sports Scholarships: The Information Book”, is written and

published by Edgar Poe Symmes, III, psychologist and author of several religious and
inspirational books. He has served as a consultant on several municipal, state and national
sports committees as well as a National Director for USSA Sports. He has developed,
organized and managed large multiple sports complexes/facilities in the southeast United
States and has served as a college scout. He also spent many years coaching and
supporting youth, high school and college athletics working to assist disadvantaged
prospective student athletes to successfully obtain college athletic scholarships. Symmes
began learning the college recruiting process when his son and daughter were being
recruited by a variety of colleges and universities for their respective sports, and quickly
became frustrated by the lack of available information for parents and prospective student
athletes concerning obtaining sports scholarships. Through the learning curve, he found
quickly that student athletes must initiate the recruiting process themselves to ensure
against being overlooked.
Symmes states that “a parent must realize early that they must devise a game
plan geared at marketing their student athlete and their talents to various colleges,
universities and athletic programs”. “Sports Scholarships: The Information Book” is a
collection of important and essential information, samples and ideas which assist parents,
guardians, and prospective student athletes to be successful. Symmes says that too many
talented student athletes are passed over because they sit back and wait to be noticed.
Symmes states by using the information in this book, you will help create an opportunity
for potential student athletes. “Take the initiative early and activate your goals!”

 “Mom’s Old Cooking Book”

Coming in fall of 2008

The book, “Mom’s Old Cooking Book”, is written and published by Edgar Poe
Symmes, III, and brings a unique mixture of Old South, Hawaiian and Japanese recipes
into a favorite cook book special. The recipes come from Mom’s favorite recipes which
she brought to the Old South many years ago and as a result placed a smile on many that
she has served over the years.
“Good things happen to Good people!”, sounds like an excellent paraphrasing of
an old adage, and it certainly applies to the “Mom’s Old Cooking Book”. Careful
attention has been given to the selection of the recipes with much emphasis on the variety
and the simplicity of the choices. Mom spent many hours testing and retesting the recipes
found in this unique collection and whether they succeed or not will be left to the user of
the cook book to decide.
In the old days, both the Old Southern and Ancient Japanese expressed their
gratitude for the food they were about to partake by uttering words to the effect that they
accept the food gratefully without complaining about the volume or the taste. Although
many miles separate the recipes, it was amazing to see and hear the response from each
culture and to see how similar all people truly are when it come to good eating.
Today we are extremely fortunate that Mom who is not only an expert in the
culinary arts but also a housekeeper has compiled recipes for dishes that are both tasty
and inexpensive. I think you will find many praises in your preparations.
“Mom’s Old Cooking Book” is an excellent fundraising opportunity. It is both
easy to read and simple in the preparation of extremely good dishes. Symmes states by
using this unique cook book as a fundraiser, you will create a positive and fascinating
potential for new cooks and mom’s everywhere.
