Sept 29th Team Meeting

If you have not received the email that Christy sent out and have not given Christy your email address, please do so. If there is anyone that may not have received the word that you can think of please forward this to them, or give them a call to get in touch with Todd, Ed, Palmer or Christy.

A few added words to the email.


We will be doing some minor maintenance on the rig, so you may want to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty if you are able to help out.
We will have a printed off sheet with the suggested names for the team for members to choose up to three that they like. Our team name for at least this event is Optimus Swine, we can change it if need be.
We will be discussing entering more categories such as exotic, beef, seafood etc. If you have a recipe you would like to try in competition now will be the time to speak up. If you want to bring a sampling to the meeting, by all means feel free (but that is not necessary). Kat has expressed an interest in doing the desert and Johnny has expressed an interest in doing Poultry. Personally, my vote is for Jeff to turn in a mustard sauce - but that is up to him & the team.
If you know of any "want-to-be members" that haven't jumped off the fence yet, you can invite them as well if they are serious about joining the team.
Hope to see as many of you as possible for this short but important meeting.
