Chili Cook Off News

April 23, 2012 by

Hi All,

This is it people, we have less than one week to go until our main fundraiser of the year to help our veterans and we are still short on volunteers ..With 1500 members you would think we would not be looking for volunteers with less than one week to go but that’s not the case…

The short of it is We still need Volunteers!!!!… Our Saturday time slot of 7am -11am is short on help and Sundays slot of 7am-11am is very short.. We also need some more help in the 1pm-5pm…on Sunday..

We also could use some help for a few hours on Friday as well….8:30am until around 12pm or so.

I want to to thank all that have volunteered so far, without all your support and dedication we would not be able to accomplish this..I also want to apologize for the incorrect e-mail address in a previous statewide that caused many of you grief..

If you can help in the time slots we need, please contact me at chili.volunteers@gmail.com

We are down to the wire here folks our veterans are depending and counting on you.

Regards,

April 28 & April 29, 2012 New England Regional Chili Cook Off

April 21, 2012 by

Our main annual fund raiser for Patriot Guard of Connecticut that enables us to help the military community, veterans and first responders of Connecticut is the annual New England Regional Chili Cook Off [sanctioned by The International Chili Society (ICS) is a non-profit organization which benefits charities or non-profit organizations] held in Somers, Connecticut. The New England Regional Chili Cook Off is the largest ICS sanctioned chili cook off in New England.

This cook off location:
Pleasant View
452 South Road
Somers, Connecticut

The New England Regional Chili Cook Off had a long history in Somers, Connecticut in the 1980’s and 1990’s. The event then was held in Woburn, Massachusetts in recent years before returning to its home in Somers, Connecticut in 2006. Sanctioned and governed by the International Chili Society.

The New England Regional Chili Cook Off is very proud that the event benefits the Somers (Connecticut) Fire Department and Patriot Guard Riders of Connecticut and the outstanding work that they do in our community.

In the past four years the New England Regional Chili Cook Off has had a very profitable philanthropic fundraiser, in addition to collecting approximately 7 tons of canned goods for local non profit organizations. The American Red Cross also conducts a blood drive.

Because the The New England Regional Chili Cook Off is our main annual fund raiser for Patriot Guard of Connecticut it is our commitment to provide as much support as possible to make this event a success.

We will be publishing news and updates here: https://www.ctpatriotguard.org/category/afrnews
