Message from the Chair

Brian Campbell

 

Greetings and welcome back to the Fall Season in our area of the world. Personally I am already getting tired of only seeing it rain 2 or 3 days and not having all that dust to wash off my vehicle. I can’t wait till our first 20 day run with measurable precipitation and no sunshine. Nothing says Oregon quite like scraping moss out of the edges of your vehicles molding and  trim.

 

Nothing says Oregon Section IFT like our October meeting and recognizing our current and future Student Leaders there. Our meeting this year will be at the Eola Winery in Rickreall near Salem. This is a very nice venue and they have been very good to our section. Dawn Merrill has students set up to be our speakers. Our student speakers  have a tough act to follow after last months meeting. In case you missed it, you may never again have the opportunity to discuss Black Raspberry Suppositories over dinner.   So sorry, your loss!

 

A few of us on the Scholarship Committee have had the pleasure to begin to learn about some new faces at OSU. There is what appears to be some new and talented student leadership getting their feet wet as underclassmen this year. Everyone should watch for these new students and get to know them at the meetings and other events on the schedule.

 

That’s all for now. See you all in a couple weeks. Umbrellas are for wimps.

IFT accepts and adopts the concept of diversity which views society as a mixture of all backgrounds, each with a unique contribution. IFT seeks to retain and celebrate individual differences and therefore will not discriminate, based on race, color, gender, sexual orientation, age religion, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

 

The Oregon Section Institute of Food Technologists Newsletter is published eight times each year (October through May) as a service to its members.
