Kiwanis Chili Cook-Off
Monday
February 15, 2010 5:00 to 7:00 PM
at Trinity Baptist Church in Lakeport
Tickets are $7.00
Available at the door, or from any Lakeport Kiwanis member.
On Monday, February 15, from 5pm until 7pm, the Greater Lakeport Area Kiwanis Club will host its Annual Charity Chili Cookoff at Trinity Baptist Church in Lakeport. The cost of admission is $7, which allows you to sample all the chili chefs’ creations, then chow down on the ones you like the best. There is also a silent auction going on throughout the event.
Anyone who wants to enter their chili in the competition is invited to do so. The competitors each make about 3 gallons, or a roaster oven full. The judging will be by a panel of local folks. The chili chefs include individuals, couples and teams and they have more fun than anyone. Many have themes for their creations that include recipe names and even costumes. Contact Carolyn Matter at Cherokee Associates if you would like to enter your chili, and she will give you the details and reserve your spot.
All proceeds from the event go to scholarships for Tatum High School seniors entering college or technical school. The Tatum HS Key Club helps with the event. Mark your calendars and bring your appetite. If you have items to donate for the silent auction, contact the lake office, John or Judi Morgan, or any Kiwanian. Kiwanians are all about kids. That’s all we concern ourselves with. If you are interested in joining our group, contact Judi Morgan or Tony Martin.
Next Board of Director's Meeting:

LCI INSTALLATION FEE PROMOTION HAS BEEN EXTENDED
Beginning in November, the CWC established a subsidy program for shareholders desiring to sign up for LCI, our new High Speed Wireless Internet service. The subsidy program was due to expire on February 28, 2010. Under this program, the CWC would pay up to $125.00 of the $175.00 + tax cost of basic installation. Due to the overwhelming response from the shareholders, we will be extending the subsidy program until Wednesday March 31, 2010. In order to qualify for this promotion, you need to be on the installation list by Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Just send your name, lot number, telephone number and your request to be placed onto the installation list to lcicherokee@gmail.com.
LCI is providing very high-speed Internet to our Lake Cherokee Community at the low cost of $46.00 per month, if you set up a PayPal Account. PayPal will automatically charge your credit card each month, so your service will not be interrupted. However, if you choose not to have these charges made automatically, you will have to manually enter payment each month, through PayPal, but the monthly charge will be $54.38 and each month you would need to remember to make your payment in order to keep continual service. PayPal is a secure site and they are used throughout the world for financial transactions.
Many shareholders have already taken advantage of the $125.00 savings on the promotional installation fee. Take advantage of this offer and place yourself on the installation list. Only CWC shareholders will be receiving this subsidized promotion. This is our way of saying thank you for your support.
If you would like to attend an informational meeting about LCI, with the LCI project team and members of the tech. support, CUG, be sure to send your name, lot number and contact telephone number to LCIcherokee@gmail.com to be placed on the meeting list. The meeting usually takes place on a Saturday morning and takes about two hours. You will be contacted when the date has been set. We will discuss LCI, equipment needed, how to get started, and basic information about our high-speed wireless Internet. You will also be able to meet with the technical support team of CUG (Community Utilities Group). We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting.
