From Ralph Hay, Alcalde:
Attention Cooks and Old 320 Members alike – I need help in finding some missing Old 320 Members. Please get your eyes and ears open to see if you can help me locate these people. First – Mark and LaNell Beck, last known address was P.O. Box 61, Bedford Park, IL. Next is Linda Shaw – last known address is 8154 Surrey Cove, Cordova, TN.
The above is a perfect example of why I keep pressing everyone to get their Profiles completed and mailed back to me. These two people have moved from their last know address and their mail has come back to me as “Attempted – Not Known, Unable to Forward.” You may not be aware of the Procedure that states as follows – IN THE EVENT THE ALCALDE IS UNABLE TO LOCATE AN OLD 320 MEMBER AFER NOTIFICATION OF REGISTERED MAIL FOR THREE (3) YEARS,THEN THE OLD 320 SITE(S) REVERTS TO CASI.
Old 320 Members, It is quickly approaching the time to let me know if you will not be using your Site(s) and as in the past you want to give your permission for a Cook/cooks that do not have their own Site to use yours. If you want a Specific person to use your Site, please let me know A.S.A.P. Also, Great Peppers of Pods that are Site Holders, you are responsible to let me know who will be using your Pods’ Site(s).
See you at the Great Peppers Meeting.
From Doc Kinnison:
Our Great Pepper, Tom Cook, passed away this morning (Sunday). Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Will forward more information as we receive it.
God Bless
If I get more information today, I will do a second post.

It's Friday and time to think about the weekend. There is not much news, just lots of CCOs. Just a few reminders:
- Have you registered for the Great Pepper's Meeting? Time is running out and we do not have all of the Great Pepper's registered or all the Pods represented.
- If you are the Great Pepper, have you begun to fill out your Annual Report and get it returned to me? Remember the due date is no later than August 15.
Hope you all have a good summener weekend. You will need to stay where it is cool. It is going to be hot in this part of Texas!

From Becky Allen:
The Texas Festivals and Events Association annual conference was kicked off in a grand way with a CASI CCO and Margarita Pour-Off during their kick-off party on Thursday, July 8 at Traders Village in Houston. 36 cooks turned out to show off their best for the festival organizers from across the state. From margaritas and chili, to show; the TFEA folks were impressed and still talking about the event several days later. The margaritas were a great ice-breaker for the evening, and with People’s Choice award up for grabs, an ideal way for the TFEA folks to meet all the CASI cooks. Congrats to Marolyn Blair who won not only People’s Choice, but also 1st place margaritas! Evidently she knows what to do with limes and tequila! This was a wonderful opportunity for CASI to show what they can do and it looks like some festivals will want to host a new CCO in the future. Thanks go to TFEA for asking Becky Allen to put together this event and Mike Baxter of Traders Village for hosting us at his facility. Also, thanks to all the CASI Directors who came out to support this CCO as well as several previous TICC winners. And we owe a huge thank-you to all those who helped with registration and the judging tables, especially Sherrie Davis for being Referee and Keith Karaff for serving as Head Judge. As the conference moves locations from year to year, we don’t know if we’ll get the opportunity to do this again, but if we do, we’ll certainly be ready!

From Jamie Burress:
The 27th Annual Purgatory Creek Pod Cookoff is Juy 17 & 18, 2010. It is one of the most laid back cookoffs of the year. We hope you will come cook chili, try our "new" event The Back Yard Chef, judge or just play in the river with us.
Cook's party Friday night, potluck dinner on Saturday and breakfast served both mornings. For information call 512-353-8895 or e-mail janieb@alertservices.com. Hope to see you there.
Again from Mama Sue:
Hi folks, Mama Sue Here:
Got another one of those "situations" and need some hep. The Waterhole Saloon in DelValle has scheduled a Chili /BBQ cook off on July 17. It is up against the PCP Pod cook off in Staples. We are not trying to pit one against the other, all we're asking is that if you are not cooking at Staples, please come to Del Valle.
Ken Rodd is needing help running the cook off and needs cooks. John and I are in the charge of our Annual Caffey family reunion and we cannot help out at either one. Please help us if you can. Please call Ken if you can help him on Saturday 210-887-8827.
A Request for Help:
As you can see this is not a formal, regulation style chili cook off but rather just a fun time of fellowship for some of our church families. I was hoping that if there were no other events this same weekend that perhaps one of your certified judges could come and take part in our event and lend their expertise to our chili creations. I know that this might seem like an odd request but I really thought it might be fun to have someone who actually knows what they are doing, judging and offering tips during our event.
If you could, would it be possible for you to contact those in the Atlanta area (specifically the south side) who might be qualified and see if they would be interested in helping with our event?
I would greatly appreciate it.

Note: Life is never dull at our house. I think I will be glad to see 2010 come to a halt. After Dinner last night Cliff thought he heard water running and asked me if I had left water running outdoors. I said that it has been a full month since I have used a garden hose. We opened the garage door to see that the hot water tank was leaking every where. Guess What? I am making lemonade today!

I have changed (simplified) the download procedure for the tally program. I realized that this version no longer requires the .net framework and so the download procedure can be streamlined. Now when you click on the reference a box will pop up asking if you want to run the program, or save it. Simply save it to your desktop and the icon will appear. Very simple.

From Ken Rodd:
Hi folks, Mama Sue Here:
Got another one of those "situations" and need some hep. The Waterhole Saloon in DelValle has scheduled a Chili /BBQ cook off on July 17. It is up against the PCP Pod cook off in Staples. We are not trying to pit one against the other, all we're asking is that if you are not cooking at Staples, please come to Del Valle.
Ken Rodd is needing help running the cook off and needs cooks. John and I are in the charge of our Annual Caffey family reunion and we cannot help out at either one. Please help us if you can. Please call Ken if you can help him on Saturday 210-887-8827.
Thank you for helping us sanction two more cook offs. GOD BLESS US ALL AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

From Larry Velequez:
Following the ever annoying trend of another chili cooking day in the rain, the 1st annual Rawhide Rustle which took place in Olathe, Kansas saw Lee Kroencke win another cook off. Again proving that chili is growing in Kansas. This was our 8th CASI cook off in this calendar year with 6 more scheduled to take place. Cecila Rivera and Cindy Stovall won 2 pair of tickets in our raffle to the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert which takes place this Tuesday. Erwin Clark won the 50/50 cooks pot and promptly donated it back to the charity (MDA). A special thanks to Harold Distler from the Central HOG chapter for coordinating this wonderful event and to Rawhide Harley Davidson.
