This pretty layered Italian cake is called cassata. It takes some time to prepare this eye-catching dessert, but it conveniently chills overnight. —Karen Albert, Prineville, Oregon

Home Educators Association of Virginia (HEAV) Polling Question: Did any of you participate in the Peel-A-Way fundraising program last year or the year before? If so, what was your experience with this, would you want to do it again, and how many coupon books do you think your group or family could sell if we continue this program? (Based on a post to the HEAV wall by George Lansing--see the wall for his full post.)

As a new member of Facebook, here is my test of it's effectiveness with "networking" since we have 698 fans listed here.
For the past two years HEAV has worked with local support groups on a fund raiser called Peel-A-Way where support groups get $4, HEAV gets $2 for a $12 retail cost coupon book good for area fast foo...d places where you buy one, get one free. Our first year had a good response, last year was not great and many small groups failed to mail in their left over coupons.
