From Bob and Doris Coats:

Please welcome a new spoon to the mix. I am referring to the Dale Reinecker announcement on his intention to seek election to the BOD.

Doris and I had approached Dale in the past concerning our desire to see him seek election to the BOD.

It is refreshing to see a candidate that has this commitment to CASI. Being willing to go against the grain and question the status quo. To openly question the direction the BOD has taken in its’ organization is something that has not taken in the past. New candidates have normally taken the position of being non-specific as to what they have in mind for CASI.

Dale is very well qualified and would be an asset to the Board of Directors.

I want to remind everybody that the Poster Contest is still on going. You must have your entry to me by June 20. Here is the information again about this contest.

Poster Rules and Guidelines

CASI is looking for a unique, creative design that embodies the essence of TICC and CASI.

Artwork must be original and should include bold colors.

The dimensions of the two posters will be 18” X 24” and 11” X 17”. Submissions do not need to be that size, but they must maintain that proportion. The 11” x 17” poster is an informational poster. Copies of last years posters will be made available in PDF format upon request. These posters may be used as a guideline for some of the content required in the design.

Winning designs may also be used for souvenir TICC shirts.

All entries should include in the title, “43 Annual Terlingua International Chili Championship”, and the date, “November 7, 2009”. It must also list the names of the current Board members and include the CASI logo.

Designs may be sent electronically in a standard graphic format (PDF or JPG) or may be a hard copy, suitable for scanning.

Pictures of last year’s winners and sponsor logos will be made available and must be added to the poster design before printing. Changes to the wording and design may be requested by the Board.

If selected, the artwork becomes the sole property of CASI and the Terlingua International Chili Championship and may or may not be used in any manner CASI desires. The winning designer will receive credit with their name included on the final product.

Submission deadline will be June 20th. Entries must be sent to Janice Miller, 3014 Oak Mountain Trail, San Angelo, TX 76904 or garjans@suddenlink.net. Winning entries will be chosen at the Board of Directors Meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 27, 2008.
