POD Newsletter Editors
I am pleased to announce there will be a CASI Newsletter Contest this year. The TOP 3 winners will be presented a nice trophy from the stage at TICC on Saturday.
I highly encourage your POD to submit your newsletter for consideration. A newsletter for the purpose of this contest is: "A document containing information for POD members that is sent to the POD membership by email or the U.S. Postal Service". If your POD has not had a newsletter - this would be a good time to "create" one. FACEBOOK and WEB SITES are good means of communicating with members, but a POD newsletter is the basic communication for ALL your members.
The contest rules are as follows:
1. A POD may submit from one to three newsletters published during 2011. The deadline for entries is September 20th.
2. Entries will be sent to Ken Rodd either by email - casihotrodd@aol.com or postal mail to: Ken Rodd, 7009 S IH-35,
3. The newsletters will be judged by 6 judges from various parts of the
We look forward to a lot of entries in this year's Newsletter Contest. We do you are doing good work out there - lets us recognize you and your POD for what you do!!!!
If you have any questions please email me or call me on my cell phone.
Signed
Ken Rodd

NOTE: From Larry Burruss:
The U. S. National Open Chili Championship on August 13, 2011 is less than 3 weeks away. We are hoping to have over 150 cooks turn in for judging this year which will allow us to qualify the top 5 chili cooks and first place showmanship. This would be great for only the second year. Remember if you want to receive the cook’s gift your paid entry must be post marked by August 1, 2011. Also those not camping at Cabella’s are encouraged to stay at the official cook-off Hotel – the Hampton Inn in Buda (512- 295-4900). Please refer to code #CHX CCG. Looking forward to seeing you there.
