Missouri State Chili Cookoff

.

at Westport Plaza

.

Dear Chili Cook and Friend of National Kidney Foundation,
.
The local Division of the National Kidney Foundation has benefitted for many
years from the generosity and philanthropic spirit of countless chili cooks,
team members, committee members, volunteers and corporate friends through the
annual NKF Chili Cook-Off.
.
This fun community event has helped to fund important local health programming
aimed at fighting kidney disease and improving patient care.
.
Unfortunately, in recent years, proceeds from the Cook-Off have fallen
significantly due to a decrease in corporate support, attendance and the number
of cooking teams. That coupled with the labor-intensive nature of the event has
compelled our board of directors to make the difficult decision to discontinue
the event. We hope you understand.
.
Chris Toney, a long-time chili cook, committee member and NKF friend is working
to continue the event, on a smaller scale. If you are interested in being a
part of the cook-off in some way, please contact her at:

.

If you are interested in continuing to support the National Kidney Foundation in
other ways, please contact me directly. We sincerely thank you for your past
support.
.
Kindest Regards,

Cyndi Miller

New England Regional Chili Cook Off

.

Chili Cooks,

We are a little more than five weeks away from what is shaping up to be one of the best New England Regional Chili Cook Off's ever!

We secured rooms at a Hampton Inn that is approx. 5 miles from the NERCC. Please go to www.chilict.com and look under sponsors for a direct link to this Hampton Inn and reservations at the discounted rate.

.

The NERCC benefits the Somers (CT) Fire Department and the Patriot Guard Riders CT.

We're honored to have Steve Falkowski (WCCC Red Champion 1997) as our Chief Judge and the very efficient Audrey Falkowski as Chief Scorekeeper.

We'll be having an American Red Cross blood drive, Miss Connecticut will be visiting along with other dignitaries and we have a Hard Rock finalist band, the "say What" band playing great music.

.

We hope that you join all of your friends on May 1, 2010 in beautiful Somers, CT at this very cook friendly ICS cook off!
