A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR Steve Ziller, Chair-Elect and Program Chair, and the ExCom are always delighted when others offer their creative programming skills. So KUDOS to the Maryland food scientists who've worked hard to offer us a program on phytonutrients. This is an important topic as evidenced by the three symposia offered at IFT '98. Your local chapter is offering you a "heads up," so don't miss out. The problem of getting to Campus has been resolved by changing the venue to the Stamp Student Union easily accessible by shuttle from Metro. Directions are on the RSVP page. It's election time again, and I thank past-Chair Mike Wehr, and current ExCom members Don Kautter, Jr. and Katie Egan for working to put together the slate. Please vote your choice ASAP. Ballots were sent to members with the mailing of the February newsletter. Amy Kneipp of Snack Foods has been working very diligently on the Science Fairs. She was well schooled by past Coordinator Alison Reich. Amy has just 3 few spots open and would appreciate your volunteering for Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax. and Anne Arundel. You will work on a team, and you don't have to live in the county hosting the fair. IFT is an organization of volunteers, so JUST DO IT-VOLUNTEER! |
