BACK TO BACK REGIONALS

WESTERN REGIONAL-SATURDAY AUG.1^ST

==

STUDIO DINER AUG. 2ND

.

Latest development at Western Regional at DelMar. There will be a Micro Brew competition going on in the Pavilian next to us in the infield. This means that there will probably be a bigger need for more Peoples' Choice chili. Since a lot of our usual red chili cooks have qualified, we are increasing the prize money for Peoples' Choice to $250 1st place.

It will be greatly appreciated if any of you choose to cook. Verde cooks, please bring people's choice chili. We will have plenty of extra red chili on hand to add to your pots.

It's very important that I receive your applications for Red, Green or Salsa so that I can get your necessary passes out to you.

Any questions please call me at my Cell 909-3224510 or home

Studio Diner (Bob Sennett) Chili Cookoff San Diego

-Sunday Aug 2^nd

Greetings outstanding Cooks of the ICS!,

Just a reminder we need capable & talented ICS quality COOK's for this 3rd Annual Regional that is Back to Back with The Del Mar Cookoff.

We have more Judge's then Michael Jackson has sequined jackets, what we really
Need are Cooks, Cooks & Cooks!

.

Last year we were blessed to have 30 competitors compete for $2000.00 in Cash Prizes and trophies…we also raised a lot of money for the "Injured Marine Fund" at Balboa Hospital.

.

I have invited some of those kids (Marines) up at the hospital to come down and help Judge. And they are looking forward to saying hello to all the Cook's who last year donated all their prize Money back to the fund!...That was an incredible moment those of us that were here will never forget.

.

Claude Covington will be Chief Judge and Mary-Ellen will be ScoreKeeper and I am hoping All the usual suspect's will return to San Diego Sunday Aug 2nd.

Please email "Virginia McDougall" vmcdougall@cox.net of the San Diego Marine Corps League (the host non profit group) to reserve your spot.

.

We are formally calling this the "Marine Bob Sennett Chili Cookoff at Studio Diner" because Bob was One of the founders and he passed away before New Years eve…a Good Man who did a lot for many people.

.

You of course can contact me if you wish for any questions, look forward to seeing all of you again,

Sincerely,

Jim Phillips
Semper Fi!
