Mission Statement
Rio Grande Valley Regional Chili & Salsa Cook Off!
Our Mission Statement.
Our mission in producing the Rio Grande Valley regional Chili and Salsa cook off is to develop this event into one of the top regional Cooking contests in North America. This event is sanctioned by the International Chili Society (ICS) which is located in San Juan Capistrano, CA.
This contests success accomplishes three major goals. The ICS will not sanction an event unless a charity is named to receive all profits after expenses of production are paid. We have named “Teach the Children”
for the 4th year as our charity for 2007. This will be the third year we
have given the proceeds to this charity. This charity is solely administered by
News Channel 5 out of Weslaco, TX.
Number one---as you can see this event provides our community with monetary support for a worthy cause. Number two---this contest will bring business to our island at the start of a slow time of the year. This
event will be held on May 5th, 2007.
Number three---is we will be known throughout the world of chili heads as having one of the finest sanctioned contests in North America.
There are local radio stations in our area that will provide very good entertainment
if we have major sponsors. This entertainment will be a level that will draw a crowd to our island on it's own.
The 4th year event
will take place at SCHLITTERBAHN'S WATER PARK on the south east end of the
island. When you see the Sea Ranch Restaurant TURN left into the parking
lot and go to the far end.
In summary we will have a fun filled family oriented event on our island, there will be business and we will help a community charitable organization. I can't think of a more fun way to accomplish all of our goals.
Thank you.
