The Friends of CASI goal for the year has been met and I thank you for your sponsorship. We will be providing the cast trophies, the winners jackets and embroidered chairs to the winners of the 44th Terlingua International Chili Championship. Additionally, a 4,000.00 Friends of CASI Scholarship will be awarded in the group's name.

We will continue to advertise your participation in Friends of CASI for the next year. Hopefully a group photo can be made for those at Terlingua.

Attached is the final ad slick of the current participants for your records. You will also be listed on the CASI National Poster. It is very interesting this year with work by a famous New York artist with Brewster County roots.

Thanks again.
