From Jennifer Sherfield:
CASI: for months now I have been working on the 2011-2012 Great Peppers Video. Last night I was putting the final touch to it! You people ROCK! Over 1400 pictures!!! Thanks to each and everyone of you that sent pictures and helped with my efforts. I am going to start taking orders. The video will be shown for the first time at the Great Peppers Meeting on Saturday. If you are not attending you can purchase the video by mailing me $5. Please make checks to the CASI scholarship fund. You can mail me payments to: 502 W. Commanche Drive Hobbs, NM 88240. If you are going to be at the Great Peppers meeting I will have copies there you can purchase. Thanks!!

Subject:  CASI Newsletter Contest
TO:  Great Peppers

         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 2012.  The deadline for entries received is September 20, 2012.

   2.  Entries will be sent to Ken Rodd by email - casihotrodd@aol.com or postal mail to:  Ken Rodd, 7009 S IH-35,  Austin, TX 78744
 

  3.  The newsletters will be judged by 6 judges from various parts of the USA.  Judges do not know who the other judges are.
 

We look forward to a lot of entries in this year's Newsletter Contest.  We know you are doing good work out there - let 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.

From Robert Wappo Schrade:

The new pavilion in Krazy Flats is almost finished and ready for TICC.


From Bruce Stewart:
The Chili Cookoff advertised for Weatherford, TX on Oct 6th has been canceled as a CASI CCO.  They are still going to have a CCO, it just won't be CASI Sanctioned and the Winners will not get CASI points.


From Darin Jester:

CASI Members,

Please be patient with us in regards to your checks clearing the bank for your CASI membership dues. This is a busy time of year for your Board of Directors. We are processing your renewals, and Pod credentials which takes numerous hours. I have had several renewals to post and update which takes time. If you have a question in regards to the status of your recent check or on the status of your renewal please do not hesitate to email me at membership.chili@att.net . Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we process everyone and prepare for the Great Pepper’s meeting.

Reminder from Jim Stateczny:

Greetings
As most of you know, we have been sifting through boxes of CASI history in order that we might archive all important documents. If any of you have any documents that should be included in this project, would you please bring them with you to Dallas. I will have the necessary scanners there to process these documents.
Thanks
