There\u2019s an unusual connection between the Brethren Press apparel at National Youth Conference, a recipe for chocolate cake, and a 93-year-old woman in Fort Collins, Colo.<\/p>\n

The story started eight years ago when Brethren Press needed a local vendor for a fast turnaround on T-shirts and sweatshirts for NYC. The original vendor had messed up the order, and there was barely time for a plan B.<\/p>\n

Jeff Lennard, director of marketing and sales for Brethren Press, managed to find Burt\u2019s Logo Apparel, a family-owned business close to Colorado State University. Not only did Burt\u2019s save the day, but ever since then the company has been a dependable source for the fair-trade clothing that Brethren Press produces for NYC.<\/p>\n

The woman who took Lennard\u2019s order back in 2010 was Anna, mother of the owner of the business. When she learned what the conference was, she exclaimed, \u201cI\u2019m a Dunker!\u201d Turns out she had grown up in the Church of the Brethren.<\/p>\n

During their conversation, she learned that Brethren Press was receiving recipe submissions for a new cookbook. She decided to submit a family recipe that had been passed down for generations. When \u201cThe New Inglenook Cookbook\u201d was published in 2013, she was excited that Grandma Beaver\u2019s Chocolate Cake made it in.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2018. When Lennard placed his order for NYC T-shirts and sweatshirts, he asked about Anna. After being told, \u201cMom\u2019s retired,\u201d he decided to deliver a copy of the just-published \u201cInglenook Desserts\u201d cookbook for the family to take to her. That\u2019s when he learned that–in a happy coincidence–he had brought his gift just one day before her 93rd birthday.<\/p>\n
