Ladies and Gentlemen, We had an incredible beginning to our 2009-2010 OSIFT season last month. Charlie Baggs gave a very interesting and thought provoking presentation. The Meeting itself held at the Widmer Gasthaus Pub was very successful and thank you to all who attended. This month’s meeting is being held at La Capitale in Salem and will take the place of the standard Oregon State University Scholarship event normally held in October. We will be meeting to recognize outstanding undergraduate students in the Food Science and Technology, Brewery, Enology and Viticulture programs at OSU. This year the section is proud to award scholarships totaling $8,000.00 to four very deserving students, up from $6,000.00 last year. Congratulations to all four recipient’s!!! These students, our future leaders make huge contributions to the food industry through knowledge, innovation and dedication. Continuing financial support in the form of scholarships from organizations like ours, individuals and industry alike is very essential. This month’s committee spotlight is on the Hospitality/Membership Committee chaired by Lindsey Moreland. The committee consists of Lindsey, Dawn Merrill and Kristin McAlpine. The Hospitality Committee members greet each member/guest at the entrance to the monthly meeting, updating membership records where needed and providing the basis for a great networking opportunity. See you all Tuesday, October 13 at La Capitale. Bill Grano Chair OSIFT 2009-2010 |
