As many of you chow fanciers know, going to a national is expensive. We are trying to help keep down the cost by doing a small group fundraiser to help offset the price of the awards banquet. If enough is raised it will also go to defray the cost of the auction buffet. Kurt Williams, Cindy Stone and Amy Young are running this photo contest which will result in the top 12 winning photos making it into a 2019 calendar. The calendars will be sold, and the proceeds will also go towards the national dinners. We are doing this ourselves because funds raised by the national club cannot be used to lower the cost of individual ticket prices. We hope that you will all get excited and participate. All proceeds from the photo contest and calendar sales will go to subsidize the national dinners and none will be kept by any individuals.
