NOTE: I have emailed the Great Pepper's the Annual Pod Report and Great Pepper's Meeting Credential Materials. These also can be found on the CASI web site in the Resource Center under "Official Organizational Documents." The title is "Great Pepper's Meeting - Pod Credentials and Annual Report." This is an effort to reduce the mailing cost of these materials. I have requested a response from each Great Pepper as to whether they will use the electronic documents or if they request a copy be mailed to them. If I do not get a response by June 1, I will mail these materials to those Great Peppers and to those who have requested the documents by mail.
