In the five years I have worked in The Forum building in downtown Fargo, I have been a member of the United Way of Cass Class committee. Each year we work together to raise money on behalf of Forum Communications Company for any and all United Way charities. In the fall of 2005 our committee decided to put together a cook book to sell as a fundraiser with the net proceeds going to the United Way.
Not only was I able to design the cover artwork for the cookbook, but I was also able to play an intregral part in collecting all of the recipes to be put in the publication. I created a webpage on which all Forum Communication Company employees could enter thier favorite dishes. The information was then stored in a database for later use.
After the deadline for submissions had passed, we were able to pull the data out of the database and insert it into a Quark template with only a few text tweaks to finish up the whole book.
