Lenox Jaycee Ettes 1981 Cookbook- Spiralbound Cookbook #20

I don't know much about the Jaycees, but I found the following description on the Illinois Jaycees website:

Leadership Development

Leadership development through community involvement has been the basis of the Jaycees since its inception in 1920. The goal of the not-for-profit organization is to provide members a means to reach their full potential through networking and personal growth opportunities and is ideal for proactive young people, ages 18 to 40. Members enhance a variety of skills as they work together to plan and run civic and individual development activities in their home communities and chapters, such as:
  • Developing a business plan for maximum success and impact for each event.
  • Learning to successfully manage volunteers.
  • Communicating effectively, through the written word, and public speaking.
  • Discovering the needs of the community and managing resources to meet them.
  • Organizing efforts to make the most of dollars raised and hours volunteered. All members have unique talents to offer. We provide them an outlet to share those talents in programs and projects that benefit
Your involvement with the Jaycees will provide you opportunities to meet people, impact your community, and apply skills to enhance your career.

The Jaycee Ettes, which I'm assuming is a female group within the Jaycees, created this cookbook in 1981...mostly likely as a fundraiser.

Here's the cookbook:
The recipe I've chosen from this cookbook is for BOURBON HOT DOGS...because...well...why not??!!

Bourbon Hot Dogs

3/4 c. brown sugar
1 medium bottle catsup
6 oz. bourbon
3 T. mustard
chili powder to taste
4 to 5 pkg. hot dogs

Mix all ingredients, but hot dogs.  If sauce is too strong add more catsup and brown sugar.  Cut up hot dogs and simmer in crockpot at least 6 hours.

Enjoy!
