Just a reminder that the Dallas Intergroup office will be closed Monday, February 20, 2012 for President’s Day. We will return to our regular hours Tuesday, February 21, 2012.  Have a safe holiday.

We had a wonderful turn out for the Chili Cook-off and Cornbread Contest!!  If you missed it you missed a lot of fun.  We had well over 200 people come to join in the fellowship and to eat a lot of chili!  The 2012 Winners are:

1st Prize:  SUNDAY MORNING LIVE GROUP  (White Chicken Chili)

3rd Prize:  NO HASSLE GROUP  (Valentine Chili)

The first ever CORNBREAD WINNER:

CORNERSTONE GROUP for their “Amusement Park Cornbread“.  (The recipe will be in the next DIAlog.)

Thanks to all our volunteers and members that came to make this an evening of fun and fellowship.  Our speaker, Danny B from Spring, Texas did a great job as well.  We will have CD’s of the event available this week.  As soon as the trophies are engraved with the winner’s information we will let the winning groups know.
