This year’s competition for the Faculty/Staff Chili Cookoff was extra hot! Congratulations to Deb (I swear it wasn’t rigged) Nahrgang in first place; Judd Botcher in second place; and Laurie Haase in third place. A huge thank you to the other worthy competitors: Gary Diomandes, Betty Kube, Terri Lieder, John Schollmeier, Christina Nitti, Ashley Clark, and Larry Price (who graciously made chili but due for unforeseen circumstances wasn’t able to enter). Appreciation also goes to this year’s judges, Adam Potthast, Bianca Dooley, and Brandon Gustafson as well as to Chartwells for providing the water, our Cabinet members for providing toppings and sides; and the Faculty/Staff Spirit Committee for providing desserts.
A total of $200 was raised and will be donated to scholarships. Thanks to everyone who came together to enjoy this event and each other’s company!
