Support Our War Heroes will be cooking up a big pot of chili at the Mandeville Rotary Club’s 5^th Annual Chili Cookoff.  Our chef team for this year’s pot of chili will be our heroes Cpl Matthew Cole (Ret) and CW3 Michael Wells (Ret).  Come join us for a good time and some good chili!

The Northlake Mandeville Rotary Club continues its tradition of community outreach with this event “Cooking for the Community” honoring those who serve on Saturday November 1, 2008 from 10am – 4pm at the Madisonville Baseball Fields.

The event includes a chili cookoff, antique car cruise-in, color guard, cheerleading and Tae Kwon Do demonstrations, games, food and drinks.  The event will be highlighted by a performance by the Northshore’s own Amanda Shaw and the Cute Guys from 2:00 to 3:30 pm.  ADMISSION IS FREE.

Proceeds from the event will benefit community projects and organizations including first responders in the Northshore community, YMCA, Safe Harbor, and Support Our War Heroes.

The Chili Cookoff features cash prizes for first through fourth place winners.  Registrations for cooking teams are open and free of charge.  Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.  In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs.
