SPECIAL PRICING FOR CHILE PEPPER MAGAZINE

.

Now that we are no longer offering the Chile Pepper magazine as part of our membership, we wanted to give you the option of continuing the subscription on your own at a discounted rate.
Chile Pepper has agreed to offer all ICS members a one year subscription to their magazine at the reduced price of $19.99. This is a discount of $7.00 off the regular subscription price. They have designated a special code - ICS999 - to obtain this discounted price. If you log onto Chile Pepper.com and go to the subscription page, there will be a box to enter the special code. Once that code is entered, the special pricing will appear. For those of you who prefer to subscribe through their toll free number (866-378-2951) you must use the code when speaking to the CSR's so you can get the reduced pricing.

NORM GAUL QUESTION

This year in May, Ed & Mary Pierczynski had their last cookoff at their home. One of the many pictures taken was a group picture of all the ICS World's Champions. I forgot my camera, so I didn't get that picture. If anyone has a copy of that group could you send me a copy of it or if you have it on your computer could you email it to me. Thanks in advance if you could help.

TUESDAY - Dec. 1, 2009

AVI BACK 2 BACK REGIONAL'S

It was a beautiful weekend. We had put Andy Dishong, Jeep Gereghty and Harry Robinson in charge of the weather. They even held off the rain until just about everyone had broken down and left the site before it hit! Susie Baumberger put together another great weekend for the cooks. Ron Burt was everywhere doing everything. Tootie Gray handled the People's Choice and morning libations for the charity (I forgot to write down the $ but it is being matched by the Bill Gates Foundation so we doubled out buck for Children's Literacy). Jim Maehl did his usual Chief Judge wonders. Scorekeepers were: Donnie Gordon, Louise Dinneweth, Val Gereghty, Bob Dinneweth, Susie Baumberger and Willma Maehl. Ron Burt and Sharue Johnson wrangled until we required them to Judge Red on Sunday and of course Capt Jim had to make a comment about Donnie & Louise "spoon jockeying". If we can shuck spoons at world we can jockey them just as easily (and it's not the first time for either of us).
