Just another reminder that we need items for the Silent Auction. If we all go out and ask for donations we can make this a banner year. The Silent Auction team will be out Saturday morning at 9:00 am (did I say that early) to start excepting items. I would like to see so many items presented that we would need more tables than we figure. I could use some help if there are any men out there that have some spare time Saturday. Any questions about the Silent Auction or if you would like to help please contact me at chilitime@sbcglobal.net or (210) 415-6855.

From Traci Bond:
Just a little update on my mom, Terry Tenery. Many of you have been asking about her! She has been in a skilled nursing facility for the last month and a half receiving chemo treatments for the multiple myeloma that she has. Those treatments basically did not work, so now we are moving to a second level of chemo starting this Friday. We were able to move her back home so that we can protect her from other all the stuff that gets passed around in a public facility. If anyone would like to send a card or drop a line, I know that she would be thrilled to hear from you! Please keep her in your prayers!
Her email is tltenery@ktc.com
Her mailing address is: 846 Upper Turtle Creek Rd, Kerrville, TX 78028
From Terry Jones:
April 30th, Myrtle Beach Inaugural CASI Chili Cook-Off
We’re just two weekends away from our event on April 30th. I met with Jay Bultz, my chili coordinator, today. We are a little concerned in the fact that only three CASI cooks have made reservations at the Hampton Inn Oceanfront. We don’t really know who, or how many, CASI cooks will show up. For those that will be arriving in RV’s, I have made arrangements with Myrtle Beach KOA at $49.50 per night. KOA is only eight blocks from the festival.
CASI Turn in time has been moved to 12:00 Noon and public chili tasting will not begin until after that time. Cooks can set up as early as 8AM.
The cooks will be able to drive right to the cook site for loading and unloading and will be able to park nearby. All efforts will be made to make it easy for you.
We expect to have at least 4,000 in attendance so please bring extra chili. We will sell wrist bands to taste the chili in 2 oz. cups. Depending on the number of chili cooks we have, I don’t think 5 gallons per cook would be unreasonable for the first event. Anything ya’ll can do will be appreciated.
I am hopeful that the word will be circulated and we will have a successful first CASI Chili Cookoff in Myrtle Beach.
Yours in CASI fellowship.
Terry
Please contact Terry Jones tbonesbbq@aol.com for additional information or Jay Bultz bultzlaw@aol.com
From Jenny Windsor:
For those chili cooks who are planning on attending the Myrtle Beach CCO, please send Terry or Jay an email confirming.
Thank you!

Folks,
The Memorial Service for Ben will be Friday, April 15, from 2:00PM till 6:00PM at the Windemere Hotel in Sierra Vista. The family has invited those who wish to share some words about our friend to do so. Ben's ashes will be delivered to Long Lake Wisconsin, his favorite fishing spot.
There isn't much to add to this except to say, Ben was a CASI icon and the heart and soul of High Desert Pod for many years. He will be sorely missed. I'm sure his family will appreciate lots of Chiliheads showing up and adding our particular loving touch to this sad event.

From Jim Ezell:
For those of you attending the Relay for Life Cookoff at my Wichita Falls place this weekend, we have a couple of side events. Friday night we will have a gold buyer on hand from 5 to 7 pm. If you have any old gold jewelry, settings, scrap or anything with a gold content, she will make you an offer and pay cash on the spot if you wish to sell. I have been amazed at what some old items are bringing.
Saturday we will once again have officials of the PCRA on hand to sanction the Ladies Catfish Ride. The weather will be warm and there are still a number of big fish no one was able to ride last year. This event was a big hit and some of these girls really took to it.
Come on out and enjoy the cookoff. Greg is once again donating nice embroidered chairs and we have a tremendous raffle, auction and plenty of cold beer. There is even some very good bourbon for folks of that ilk. For folks staying over, the Sunday cookoff is just 3 miles from here and I have plenty of dry camping space.
Hope to see you Friday and Saturday
From Larry "Doc" Kinnison:
The Howdy-Roo golf tee off time has been changed to 12:30 instead of 1:00. If you plan to play golf, please let me know asap, so I can arrange tee times. IF you have a team, I need names, not that they will play together, cause I pick the best ones for my team. We are getting excited about everyone coming to Howdy-Roo. Just made up 166 cups and will have more standing by just in case.

Hooked on Chili cook-off held Saturday April 4.
This was a great first time event . We were lacking a little on People Choice Chili as well as crowd number's. Nothing that we can't iron out and double this into a superior event next year! I would like to thank Steven Gragg and all of his support team for making this event go so well. Many thank's to June Roberts, Sharren Christopherson and Kimmy & Kevin on the judging and set-up support . The Health Dept. tried to beat us up but, we were ready for them!! These people love overtime..
I would like to welcome first time cook's and new member's Jeff Stetson-Anthem,Az; Alan Weiss --Mesa ,Az; and Jennifer Petitta and her Husband -Chander, Az to the Chili Pod Family CASA.
