2. Chef Stephen gave an update on the 2006 Regional. ACF Savannah will have a booth at the 2005 Regional in Roanoke,VA .There will be a survey available so we can gauge interest in education at the Savannah Regional. ACF Savannah is setting up a website to be used for the Regional. It will be set up and maintained for one year. After that, it is the chapter's decision whether to keep it running. 3. The date and location of the Chef 's Ball is still undecided. The issue has been tabled until the next meeting. 4. ACF Savannah needs a new Educational Committee .The committee is responsible for finding educational programs and meeting sites that are appropriate. Chef Hillary Gallagher volunteered to chair the new committee, with President Vicky Turner offering assistance. 5. ACF Savannah needs a Membership Chair and Committee .As there were no volunteers at the meeting, the issue was tabled. 6. As Vicky Turner has accepted the role of President ,per the by-laws, she has nominated William Stevens as Vice President . This decision was passed by the Board. This leaves a vacancy in the Sergeant-at-Arms post. As no one at the meeting was willing to accept a nomination, it was wisely suggested by Chef Wolfgang Bierer that the chapter rotate the position per meeting. This issue was voted on and passed. 7. The regular meeting was adjourned by Vicky Turner . 8. President Vicky Turner welcomed our special guest, Chef Bierer,CEC,CCE,CMPC .Chef Bierer will again be a judge at the Magnolia Coastland Culinary Challenge and was in attendance to discuss competition criteria. Chef Bierer discussed everything from professionalism to sanitation, with an emphasis on "keep it simple ".A big thanks to Chef Bierer for easing the minds of some of the competitors, and reinforcing what we all sometimes forget," Good Food Cooked Properly " -Thanks Chef Bierer!
