From Darin Jester:
Here is the information for this weekend's Indiana State CCO.
From Ed Blair:
Looking Forward
Thank you to everyone that supported my running for the Board and to the Board for their confidence to elect me president. I am honored and will strive to live up to the standards set by all the presidents that have preceded me. Having served on the Board for a number of years, many have given me guidance. As for our outgoing president
Renee Moore, thanks for the mentoring you have given both to date and in the future when the need arises.
Chili cooks generally have a step up and get it done work ethic, CASI members especially. Let's work together to build on the accomplishments we as a Chili Family have made and grow our organization to even greater heights. As projects are identified, I am counting on the membership to step up to work on them. For you newer cooks, jump up and volunteer. There is no better way to get involved and meet people. As we went around during the Candidate and Board Forum this year, your Great Peppers have asked that we as a
Board work with the Membership to improve CASI. Let's do it!
As for communications, everyone -- it is a two way street. Let's share ideas, brain storm them and find winning solutions to the challenges ahead.
For our current Board members that are retiring, I personally wish to thank each of you for sharing your time, energy and ideas. Dorathy Williams and Renee Moore - more than a decade of service to CASI as Board Members. John Goforth, your time has been shorter, but your heart is just as big. As with most retiring Board Members, we know you are going to stay active within the Chili World and thank you for
your services to come.
For the new Board, I look forward to working with all of you.
Ed Blair
CASI President2011-2012
From Larry (Doc) Kinnison:
To any KEEPERS OF THE GATE.
I am getting a list of helpers for gate at TICC. I do
not have a list of people that have previously worked the gate, or I would have
contacted you personally. I would appreciate any help from Wednesday, November
2nd thru Saturday November 4th. We need two helpers for each shift. Shifts are
from 8:00 am to 12:00, 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, 8:00 pm to
midnight. Saturday is 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Our position at the gate is to help
answer any questions and to welcome the cooks and guest to TICC. Carrie and I
have worked the gate for about 10 years, and looked forward to help. If you
haven't worked the gate, it is fun to greet the cooks and guest. Please contact
me at drk@tstar.net, or 830-613-8666 to reserve your
time. If I get last years list and you want the same time, will do my best to
arrange that time again. Thank you very much.
From Jen Windsor, TallyMaster
All September cook-off results must received
by the TallyMaster on or before 10/27.
NOTE: If you were at the Great Pepper's Meeting last week and on Saturday had the Lunch Buffet, you were entertained by a video presentation created by Jennifer Sherfield. It was excellent and a lot of fun. It showed this year's cooking experiences from a lot of CCOs. If you would like to purchase a copy, please send your request to Jennifer at jennifersherfield@yahoo.com.
If you are not planning on using your Old 320 cooking space, please let Ralph Hay know as soon as possible so that he can reassign somebody to cook in this space.
