From Clyde Rogers:
Just a reminder that Texas Lady`s State Chili Championship is 4 days away. I figure everyone is checking off their list of things to take with them in order to have a fun week end. Among the items to have on that list is an item or 2 or 3 or more for the SILENT AUCTION. Year after year everyone brings a great variety of items to put out for . I am sure 2012 will be no different. Be sure to stop and pick something up to make this another banner year for the TEXAS LADY`S STATE SILENT ACUTION. To all that help by donating an item THANK YOU.


From Kelly Brignon:
If you would like a spice order brought to Ladies State, please leave a note in the comments section of the online order form. You can also call the store at 972.875.2975 or email me at Kelly@mildbills.com to place an order. Please let me know by noon Wednesday. We will be in Seguin Thursday afternoon and will also have spices with us. Thank you and have a spicy day!


From Larry Burruss:
It is time for the men to step up to the judging area and help out with Ladies State. It takes a lot of people to monitor a cook-off this size. I have spoke with a few people but still need a lot more men to help. Please contact me if you will monitor at janieb@alertservices.com or Larry at home (512) 353-8895. Thanks for volunteering. We will see you next week.

From Lee Kroencke:
Mark your Clendars.  You aren't going to want to miss this CCO!
