Do any of you hold an "Iron Cheff" type cooking contest in your foods course? How might I set up such a competition??

Looking Forward
It is less than a week away for our MAFCS conference. I am looking forward to the wonderful program that has been planned by our committee and hope that you have all made plans to attend.
As we approach the 100 year anniversary of the organization we need to look forward and keep ourselves currant with society in ways that we can sustain our profession and continue to be strong leaders in our future. Those that have been committed to Family and Consumer Sciences in the past have been wonderful examples for us and we need to keep our commitment strong.
Sincerely, Jane Hall Hinrichsen

The Blog and the conference
I'm not sure that there are people out there using this blog but if one person looks it worth it for us.
Remember that our conference is April 3 and 4th. You can get the information from the MAFCS newsletter and I will post the registration following this blog. I think that it will be a wonderful conference focusing on the past and future of our organization and things that we can do to keep our environment safe.
We have our national President speaking at Lunch on Friday and a celebration on Friday evening with the silent auction.
If you have questions about the conference you can contact Jean Knaak. She has worked very hard on this conference and we are grateful for her work.
