Contest Rep Committee Carol Whitebook
1) It has come our attention that some reps are g iving containers out prior to the cook’s meeting. At first look, this is great customer service; however, it may discourage team attendance, even further, at the cook’s meeting where teams could ensure they hear of last minute changes and specifics for the contest.
2) Cook teams have requested the board discuss the use of forks for anything beyond serving pieces during judging. Comments have been received regarding the fact individual forks discourage full evaluation of meat entries.
3) Per the December Board of Director meeting it was determined that a=2 0file compiling critique feedback would be kept, updated and sent to organizers. After the board meeting I sent a request to the KCBS office, and copied several board members asking if they wanted to use a file I had compiled and could update. I received no response or request. Report on status of how organizers are receiving feedback requested.

I don't know what complimentary memberships Don is referring to but I can only assume he means all complimentary memberships. If that's the case, I don't know if that's such a good idea. Of course, since it's the morning after this might be water under the bridge.

Last year we ran a CBJ class and a couple members of the local media were offered complimentary memberships for attending the class. After the class was over, they were sworn in as CBJ's and given a one year membership in the organization. That was a great idea in my opinion because it made them a part of the organization rather than get them to cover one event then fade away until next year.
