From Blu Daniels:
"Rose City Camp will once again sponsor "goody bags" for the Terlingua students and we request all leftover items from cookoff cooks goody bags, including koozies, baseball caps, t-shirts, mugs, pens, pencils, note pads, keychains, and also perfume samples and all hotel soaps, shampoos, conditioners and lotions. NO Alcoholic advertising items. This is not the Christmas Toy drive, nor the Food Bank drive. You can bring them to GPM and give to Eric Jensen, Rose City Pod GP, or anyone from our Pod at a cookoff before Terlingua. All items must be in our camp by 3:00 Thursday afternoon of TICC so they can be assembled and ready for distribution Friday morning when the ROTC and Dancer and Band members come for their performance.
Thank you,
 
 
GREAT PEPPER'S MEETING INFORMATION:
The Hotel provides a shuttle which goes out to the airport every half hour on the half hour daily. Sat and Sun you just need to call for pickup or make arrangements with the hotel for drop off.
Pick up is on the lower level to the far left side. There is a gray sign that states "ground transportation " that is where you need to wait. The shuttles can not come to you.


Below is the Friday Agenda (It may change due to circumstances):

From Jim Ezell:
Have you taken the time to view the YouTube Video?
This is the CASI Video produced by Lion TV for the Hungry Channel.  It got 7000 hits the first week. If you have not watched it yet, there are many CASI cooks in it you will recognize. Take a look and pass the news on to other cooks. There was good visibility for several of our sponsors, cooks and former TICC champs.
