From Jen Windsor:
Need to send out a big TEXAS SIZED THANK YOU to: Tony Del Nano from Mountain City Meats he was able to get all the meat donated for the CASI Last Battle Over Bagdad Chilicook of in Iraq. Rick Goodman is our shipping guy. David is from Killeen TX, he is a chili cook and is a CASI member. Lastly but certainly not least Donna Conrad coordinated all of this and made it happen. Without these folks the troops would not have chili meat to cook with. Please take a moment to thank them!!

ED Notes:
Have you visited the History section of CIS lately?  There is a lot of information in this section.  The Board of Director's Meeting Minutes are posted as well as the Financial report.  There is a section that contains the Annual Report information that was reported by each Pod.  

This is where you will find each Terlingua Trails posted.  Each month the new Trails is posted around the 15th of the month.  This allows you to read it prior to receiving it in the mail.

If you select the CASI State File and follow it to the end, you will find that to date there have been 194 CCOs, 5,998 chili's judged raising $523,390.00 reported to date.

There is a lot of information on our Web Page.  If you haven't visited our web page lately and see what's there.  You will find the official documents posted in the Resource Center.

It is snowing here in San Angelo.  Hopefully we will not get enough that I could go sledding!  Here's hoping that Spring is on its way!
