Notice:
The TallyMaster’s office is moving and will
be closed May 25, 2012 thru June 2, 2012.
Beginning
May 22, 2012 the new mailing address for all cookoff results will
be:
CASI
TallyMaster
390
South Drive
Severna Park, MD 21146
For
those of you that continue to send cookoff results to Glenda Vrba, those cookoff
results will continue to be posted late. Points will not be recorded timely and
cooks will not get the qualifier number that they are expecting.
Thanks
for your help during this transition!

From Jim Stateczny:
The problem with the Tally 3.1 program has been found
and corrected in version 3.2. This version has been posted on the CASI web site.
It seems that Microsoft made a slight change in the way the print dialogue box
needed to be called when using a 64 bit computer. It took quite a bit of digging
to find it, and it was found when a web forum was located discussing the
problem. It seems that we were not the only folks experiencing the problem, and
the frustration in determining what it was. You will know when you have loaded
the new program correctly because it will reflect version 3.2 on the opening
screen.

It is with GREAT SADNESS that I must, at this time, advise everyone that the "Return of the Chili Queens" cook-off this weekend has been CANCELLED. Unfortunately, there have been some changes at the Market, mainly a new BOD.
While most wanted to still have the cook-off the President was not in favor. And then, somehow, the City was called to get involved and that opened a WHOLE new realm of issues. I was put in contact with a man from the City that didn't quite understand the cook-ff procedures. Then this man, not knowing or understanding, panicked and started opening doors to other issues.
The City now says we need Health and Fire Permits (which we've never needed before). The cost of the permits would be extreme and would not be beneficial or profitable for the charity. Greg, from the Market, and I have worked very hard to try to keep this cook-off in tact for this year but at this time we have to make the call and say that it will be CANCELLED. It's unfortunate and disappointing to say the least. We'll have the cook-off next year, as we now know what we're up against. And if need be, we'll move it. However, that takes away from the atmosphere and culture that makes the "Return of the Chili Queens". Thanks to all that have supported this cook-off over the years and we'll see you there next year.
