Hello NCA members, The annual Nutrioso BBQ is fast approaching and planning is now underway! In the past few years, it is increasingly difficult to find a volunteer to serve as BBQ Chairman, to oversee and coordinate all the various tasks involved in putting on an event of this magnitude.  Last year, after several requests for a volunteer or volunteers brought no response, two of the NCA board members took on the task.  By that time, the BBQ planning had fallen behind and there was a lot of catching up to do. This made the job all the more difficult.

This year it was decided to delegate this task to a BBQ Committee.  We . . . → Read More: BBQ Planning]]> NCA 2011 BBQ July 30, 2011

Hello NCA members, The annual Nutrioso BBQ is fast approaching and planning is now underway! In the past few years, it is increasingly difficult to find a volunteer to serve as BBQ Chairman, to oversee and coordinate all the various tasks involved in putting on an event of this magnitude.  Last year, after several requests for a volunteer or volunteers brought no response, two of the NCA board members took on the task.  By that time, the BBQ planning had fallen behind and there was a lot of catching up to do. This made the job all the more difficult.

This year it was decided to delegate this task to a BBQ Committee.  We have broken down the BBQ down into areas of responsibility.  Each area of responsibility will have a supervisor who will manage the duties required for that area.  These area supervisors will form the BBQ Committee.  A BBQ Chairman will still be necessary to oversee and coordinate with the Committee; call BBQ meetings, when necessary; make reports at the NCA Board meetings, etc. Please review the attached list and consider volunteering for the BBQ Committee.

Thank you,

The NCA Board of Directors
