From Clyde Rogers:
A reminder that Traders` Village has stepped up to help chili cooks with a place to stay while at the Texas Open. To give cooks an additional hotel to choose from Traders` Village made arrangements with the Courtyard Marriott. It is located at 11603 Hwy 151. It is about 13 miles from the cook off. The reservation information is shown below. Hope to see all at Traders` Village for the 2nd annual Texas Open.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
I am announcing that I have decided not to run for a 3rd term as Executive Director for CASI.  I have enjoyed my 4 years, but think it is time to encourage someone else to become the new Executive Director.  A BIG thank you to all of you that have supported me these last 4 years.  Without your help, I would not have been able to accomplish this job!
