Well, It is Friday again. Another weekend for cooking chili. I hope the weather is nice where ever you are going to cook. We will be going to Comstock. Of course, I hoping for a Bronze Panther.

If you have not been to the CASI web page in the last day, you will find some things updated. The new amended Bylaws are in the Resource Center as well as next year's Scholarship Application. The corrected Rule Book (grammar and spelling corrections) has also been updated and can be accessed. The CASI Board page has been updated to include our new Scholarship Chairman. You can even ask me for you CIS log in. Thank You Jim Stateczny for all your help.

If you have never taken time to look in the History File, you will find there is a lot of information in here also. Our Board minutes from our January Meeting are there as well as minutes from our Great Pepper's meetings. Past Financial reports are there and can tell you a lot about what CASI has done. And of course, the Terlinqua Trails are there.

If you go into the Organizational Groups, you can find information about the board, committees, candidates for last year's Board Election which will be updated as new Candidates for this year's election send in their information. And then there is information about each pod and their Officers.

If you go to the Show Team file, you find each show team listed and the number of points they currently have.

If you go to the State File, you will find by State how many points are required to qualify, how many CCOs they currently have held, the number of chilis judged and the amount of money raised to date.

Of course, most of us are familiar with the Cook Off file where you can input new CCOs and also check the calendar for cook offs by date. This file will also let you know if the results have been submitted.

And then there is the name file. Here of course you can find the name of the cook and information about that cook. Of course, there are a lot of names that we don't have very much information about ( their local pod, their address, email address, birthday, etc). If that information is sent to me by that person, I will gladly update their personal file. Having this file current helps many of us when we want to contact a cook.

There are several other areas on the CASI web page that have lots of information. You can find a list of last year's TICC sponsors. Past TICC winner's chili recipes, information on the Scholarship Program, a map that identifies where there are pods and members, information about Terlingua with a picture of our current Champion MS Susan Dean, and then just a tab that gives information about CASI.

Take time and investigate our web page and see how much information is really available to you in just one place of the web.

Have a great weekend! May Chiligula bless your weekend and keep you safe.
