Chili Cook Off Special Edition
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the members of this club for your unselfish donations of both time and money in support of the 2nd Annual Chili Cook off. I can truly say our club exhibited the motto “Service above self."
There are so many stories of members going above and beyond to make this fundraiser a success. I am very proud of our members' positive engagement with our beloved community. Multiple acts of kindness were exhibited, and members demonstrated the true character of our club.
Success is a result of people and process working together as a team to get a great outcome. A big thank you to all the people who showed up with the correct mindset to make this event a success. A big thank you to Sherri Simoni our Fundraiser Director and Philomena Rambo who spent hours refining the process to assist a smooth execution of the day and creating the building blocks for repeated success in years to come.
We do all of this to give back to the community - both a rewarding event experience and the funds generated from this event that will continue to help others. I encourage this club to never lose sight of this important goal. I hope we take a moment to realize the sense of satisfaction from a job well done.
Thank you for your generous spirit.
Kevin
