From Dana Plocheck:
The March issue of the Terlingua Trails is available for viewing on the CASI website. Read about some great cookoffs that took place that you will want to put on your calendar for next year. In addition, check out the Upcomings; there are a lot of cookoffs coming up you don’t want to miss. Most importantly, please continue to send in your articles and photos for publication. Thanks.

From Jenny Windsor:
Thanks to Tamara Dee's, we now have a link on the Mild Bill's website for anyone wanting to make monetary donations for the CASI Baghdad CCO.

From Bob Horan:
Donations Needed - Please Help Us Support Your Soldiers!

The Soldiers' Angels, http://www.soldiersangels.org/ have adopted the Combat Support Hospitals in Iraq and all the Military hospitals worldwide. Soldiers’ Angels Germany supports the patients at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. Receiving comfort items as donations from everyday Americans provides a level of personal support that has a very positive impact on a patient´s morale, and therefore on the recovery process.

Soldier’s Angels is an outstanding organization helping all wounded service members, Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard. I will have some additional information on their Cooking With The Wounded Project later.
