POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Aug 2nd Studio Diner-Marine Bob Sennett Cookoff

.

Greetings Chiliheads & fans the Marine Bob Sennett/Studio Diner Chili Cookoff,

I unfortunately at this time am forced to make the decision to postpone
What would have been our 3rd Annual Chili Cookoff this Aug. 2nd, 2009.

The last 2 Years we were pleased to have plenty of talented Cook's & Judges
From the International Chili Society participate and make our event a big success.

We had also raised north of $15,000.00 for the local Marine Corps League's "Injured Marine Fund".

A truly great non profit started in 2003 that flies Parents & family members to San Diego
From across the country to visit their injured Marine at San Diego's Bob Wilson (Balboa) Naval hospital.

Our event has been the sole single day largest fundraiser for the "Injured Marine Fund".

However events a little beyond our control, like the current state of the economy and a shortage of talented I.C.S. capable Chili Cook's (due to either already qualifying for the "World Championship" in October or other commitments)

Leaves us with the prospect of putting on a less then successful Cookoff at this time.

That is not something I or the Injured Marine Fund wanted to be a part of since we have worked to hard to create a great family event.

Any and all monies we have received from Cooking teams will be returned immediately.

We apologize for this inconvenience and wish we did not have to postpone this event.

We deeply appreciate all the support from the Cook's, the Judge's, the attendee's and everybody Who have supported us for the last 2 years.

We will search the calander and pick an appropriate date in the future to again have a successful event to raise needed funs for the IMF, honor Marine Bob Sennett and allow all our ICS competitors, Judges and attendees enjoy themselves at the best I.C.S. event here in San Diego.

Special Thanks to Claude, Mary Ellen, Pete Caimi, Steve, Ughlee and all the Cook's & Judges who have helped
in the past & were prepared to do so again.

Sincerely,

Jim Phillips
Cookoff Chairman
