Fall Weather = Time for Chili!
Who doesn’t love a big bowl of chili when the weather starts to cool? This year Metro United Way is planning a Chili Cook-Off to benefit our internal campaign. Metro United Way staff will serve as the chefs, and everyone is invited to join in the feast! Details are below:
What: Metro United Way Chili Cook-Off!
When: Oct. 16, 2009
Time: 11:30-1:30
Where: Metro United Way, Training Rooms A and B
Who: All staff are invited to participate in the competition, EVERYONE is invited to eat!
Why: To benefit the 2009 MUW internal campaign
How it will work:
· Staff interested in entering a pot of chili in the competition need to complete an entrance form and email it back to Angie NO LATER THAN October 1, 2009
· Each entrant is responsible for making enough chili to serve at least 8-10 servings.
· Each entrant is also responsible for providing their own “garnishes” such as: spaghetti, crackers, cheese, etc. to be served with their chili (optional), as well serving utensils.
· Entrants must have their chili set-up and ready to be served by 11:00 a.m. on the designated tables in TRA and TRB.
· Diners pay $5.00 at the entrance to try as many “tastes” as they want (small cups will be provided). Diners can go back to purchase a whole bowl of their favorite chili for an extra $2.00 (large bowls will be provided).
· Before diners exit, they may cast a vote for their favorite chili (tickets will be provided). All votes must be cast by 2:00 p.m.
· The Internal Campaign Committee budget will cover the cost of drinks.
· Those interested in participating, but who do not have a famous chili recipe at home can participate by bringing a dessert to share instead. Please see Angie to get the form to complete for this, as well.
· Agency executives, MUW Board of Directors, volunteers, and MUW staff, friends, and family are invited to participate.
· The chef of the winning chili will win a much-desired prize (TBD)
