From Barbara Herrin:
I would like for the CASI members and Great Peppers to have this following information before the GP Meeting. I am making some recommendations for changes to the current Scholarship Program Policy. I will hope that the GP's agree and ratify the changes. Below is taken from my report which will be presented to the Great Peppers:
Recommendations for change to the policy:
1. Change the grade reporting from the scholarship recipients to once a year with the grade reports due in June. The current policy states that grades are due twice a year (in January and again in June). We found that the January date is not practical if we are planning to issue checks by the first week of January.
2. Trade/technical scholarships – as this was the first year to award these scholarships, we found that it was not practical to award these scholarships at the same rate as the academic scholarships.
The additions are in bold italic print and the deletions are struck through to show how the policy would read if approved by the Great Peppers.
Recipients: Recipients must obtain at least a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale and carry a minimum of 12 hours or be considered by the registrar to be a full-time student.
Note: If recipient’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.5 or if the recipient fails to register as a full-time student for the semester, the recipient will be placed on probation for one year.
Trade/technical school scholarships will be dispersed at the rate of $1000 for 1-6 months of instruction and $2000 for 6+ months of instruction. Trade/technical school scholarships are for a maximum of two years ($2000).
From Debbie Turner:
Calling All Chili Cooks and their Ilk!
If you want a new Cooks Register, you MUST order one NOW. I am NOT ordering a lot of extras as I have done in the past so don't expect to buy one at Terlingua unless you have ordered one.
I am still working on the book and there are quite a few people who seem to have a "Roundtoit" problem this year. If you want a new Cooks Register, please contact me ASAP. As usual, the books should be ready by Terlingua. If you have a book, check your listing and see if something needs to be changed or add info like cell numbers (I can e-mail you what I currently have) or will e-mail an application form. Cost is now $23 for a book (includes your listing) or if you don't want a book but want to be in it, a full listing is $2.
I will be at the Great Pepper's meeting so folks can get with me there about their listing or purchase a book. As much as I love doing the book, the number ordered is going down to a point that this may be the last edition of this historic chili book unless I can get more participation. The "Drop Dead" deadline is September 20. Remember, after I receive the info, I still have to get it input and added to the sorted files in the back of the book before the end of September so it can be printed prior to Terlingua.
