From Sherrie Davis:
NOTE: The Concho Valley Chili Pod CCOs scheduled for Labor Day Weekend has a change of location. Instead of being held at Ashley Furniture, they will be held at Water Valley Park.
Be sure to review the 2nd Post from Yesterday. It has the information concerning Rusty Paske's funeral. It also has the Application for a Board of Director's position from Dana Plocheck.
As of last night I have 57 returned Annual Reports. Remember that Saturday is the last day to mail your report and it not be considered late. Most of the reports are complete. The one item that has been a problem is ensuring that all of your officers to include your referees must have their dues paid until 09/30/2010. You must check the date of your membership. You can find it in CIS. Many of you think that we are on a 1 Oct to 30 Sep cycle for membership. That is not the case. Your membership date is the date that your dues are recorded by the Membership Chairman. It is the date that he receives you payment for your dues. For some of you, that means if you are an officer, you may have to pay your dues to sometime in 2011 to have your dues paid through the 30 Sep requirement.
Also remember that Saturday is the last day to Register for the Great Pepper's Meeting without being charged with a late fee. Please get your registration into Patsy Childress immediately.
One last item. If you are planning to run for a CASI Board of Director's position, your application needs to be sent to Karen Bains by Saturday, Aug 15. At the present time the following people have announced their candidacy: Dana Plocheck, Jen Windsor, Robert Schrade, Dale Reinecker, Kelly Brignon, Bill Pierson, and John Goforth.
Well, it is almost the weekend. I hope everybody has a Great Chili Weekend!! If you are still in need of points, may this be the weekend that you get them!
