Winners named in annual Staff Council Chili/Soup Cook-off

Dennis Kowalski from facilities management was the fan favorite at the recent Staff Council Chili/Soup Cook-off for his brisket chili.

Best table decoration went to Kim Hight from the Financial Aid Office. She prepared the entry “My Mama’s Recipe.”

While the fan favorite was decided by votes from employees who sampled the entries, Erin Ritter from financial aid was named the Staff Council’s favorite for her “49er Miner Chili.” Debby Watts from the Venture program was the council’s second-favorite recipe (Venture Backpacker’s Chili Warmup).

Prizes were awarded to all the winners, along with door prizes for attendance to Lee Baker, David Elledge, Lynda Gibbs, Stacy Leotta and Steven Tillman.
