Texas Men's Date Chili Championship is just right around the corner. As you are planning for the event, please remember to bring an item for the Silent Auction. We need lots of items. We had a great silent auction last year and only want it to be better every year. This silent auction helps us make money to support this event. If you have questions concerning the Silent Auction, contact me. Janice Miller. garjans@suddenlink.net.

Have you had a CCO for the Scholarship Program? This is one of CASI's Programs that is growing each year. This is an excellent way to showcase CASI. As we contact High School Counselors and give them the information about this program, it puts our name in front of a lot of students and their parents. Then when we advertise CCOs in our local areas, we might have better public participation. After contacting the 30 High Schools in our Regional Referee's area, I have had many phone calls asking about CASI and requesting a CCO for other charities. If every pod would have 1 CCO each year for this program and only made $300, we would be contributing over $21,000 to the program. We do get a lot of the support for this program from Memorials. This is a GREAT program. Keep up the support and keep promoting CASI. Chili, Charity and Fun!
