Chili Cook Off Kicks Off CLYC Social Season

 

Your friendly neighborhood CLYC social committee special ordered some perfect “chili eating” weather to kick off our 2008 social season.  From all reports, the 145 members who attended the chili cook-off got their fill of delicious concoctions and had a great time. 

 

Our members were most gracious buying raffle tickets for the 50-50 raffle and rest assured, the fix WAS NOT IN when Shelly Rebholz walked away with the “big money”!

 

Many thanks to all the folks that helped make this outing a success.  I won’t attempt to name them all, for fear of overlooking someone, but suffice to say our social committee is composed of hard working people not afraid to pitch in and make things happen!

 

Everyone came out a winner on this night.  We salute some of finest chili chefs in the land for their offerings.  With those delicacies, you made your neighbors very happy!
