Where: The Writers Place, 3607 Pennsylvania Ave., Kansas City, MO 64111

Think Warm Thoughts--and Share Them!
We're actually supposed to have a fairly nice weekend, but in January even the nice ones are chilly in Kansas City. That doesn't mean we can't be warm at heart, though!

Make the new year friendlier by smiling at everyone you see at the meeting--especially the new faces in the crowd. Of course we love our old friends, too, and our monthly meetings are a great place to reconnect.

Bring Warm Food--And Share It!
January has been our traditional month for the Annual Chili Cook-off, but other warm things are welcome as well: warm cornbread, freshly-baked cookies, hot cocoa, etc. And of course a beverage of your choice.

As ever, KaCSFFS provides plates, cups, napkins, and plastic utensils, but the "what to put in them" is up to you!

Will Ken Finally Get to Interview Ty?
They've tried to do it several times already--will President Ken Keller actually get to interview Ty Gephardt this month? Come to the meeting and find out! Ken also is accepting suggestions for other interesting KAXFEN to interview!

3. The club will provide spoons and tasting cups for samples.

4. Tasters vote for their Top Two (2) chilis by marking a ballot.

5. Ballots will be tabulated by Board Members who did not bring chili.

6. The Top Three Chili Cooks will be covered in glory and lauded in the presence of all!

If you choose not to bring chili, please consider bringing crackers, cornbread, butter, cheese, sour cream, or other things that go with chili. You also could bring dessert!  And as always, bring your own drinks, ice, etc. as you prefer!
