From Blu Daniels:
Rose City will not be having a cook's party per se Friday night or Saturday night. They have never really worked well for us, so we don't do them any more. But everyone is welcome to the Popcorn Bar that will be set up and popping at Big John and Blu's white bus. So come join us around the campfire either/or both nights, weather permitting of course.

From Ken Rodd:
Cody Oliveria asked that I pass this on to the CASI family

Thank you to all the chili cooks you are all winners in helping us raise money for Special Olympics- Florida.

At the Winter Board Meeting, the Board voted to institute the suggestion from the Governance Committee.  This suggestion was to have a Code of  Conduct.  This was signed by members of the current board and will be added to the Nomination Package this next year.
 

There still seems to be a probelm with our Web Page and CIS.  This is due to  a Software Upgrade done by our parent company Hill Country Software.  They are working hard to restore the Web Page and CIS.  We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.   

 May each of you have a great weekend.  There are lots of CCOs from which to choose.  I hoping for a least 1 point!
