Remember the Garland Elks CCO Epsilon Sigma Alpha on June 26th held at the Garland Elks Lodge #1984 site and the Sunday June 27th DAM POD annual chili cook off.
At the June 26th CCO there will be a stove for the top chili winner, donated by Randy Gipson the lodge Treasurer. Maybe a stove for the 2nd and 3rd place. Still waiting for the last 2 stoves to be donated.
At the June 27th DAM POD CCO there will be a Wendell Rankin hand painted stove for the top chili winner donated by Bill Lester.
The Annual Lone Oak CCO is on June 19th.
From Tammie Wooster:
Another hugely successful Southwest Open Chili Championship Cookoff...The weather was hot, hot, hot but the event even HOTTER as we had 151 cooks and qualified 5 for Terlingua!!!!
On behalf of the N.O.B. Pod and the SW Open committee - Thank you to everyone - Cooks, Judges, Monitors, Tally Crew, Runners, Sponsors and Charities...What a great time we had over the weekend! As usual everyone pulled together and helped make this another top-rated cookoff!!!

From Ron Woodson and Ruby Ross:
Mark your calendars for the bbq and chili cookoff for the Kingsland Aqua Boom on July 3.
Note: Please keep my Mom and Dad in your prayers. My Dad is back in the hospital. He is not doing well and our prayer is that his suffering can come to an end. He has fought a hard battle, but it is just too much for him.
