Word From the Chair...
Greetings!
The holiday season
is approaching and I take this opportunity to convey “food wishes” to
you and your family.
Thanks to your
participation, the suppliers’ night was a great success! We drew a wide
range of exhibitors and big a crowd of food professionals from around
the area. I have received many complements for this huge success and the
credit of this accomplishment goes to all, who supported this event
despite bad weather and other commitments.
Our joint meeting
with CNJIFT and AACT was a huge success with record number of attendees.
This event was celebrated with trifecta of fish: the venue-aquarium, the
topic-Omega 3s from fish and the food- salmon. It is admirable that some
of the CNJ members drove 3 hours to participate at this meeting.
As a part of the
upcoming annual meeting, IFT has called for abstract and session
proposals. Also, there is an announcement for scholarship applications.
Academicians (professors, researchers and students) are encouraged to
take advantage of these opportunities. Visit www.ift.org for more
details. Our section’s scholarship application deadline is March 15th,
2009. Food Science students of this area are encouraged to apply for
scholarship before the deadline. The application and instructions are
available with John Pcsolar (215-355-3900 x3340) or on
www.philadelphiaift.org. I am sure this scholarship amount would help
students receive the education and training necessary in their study.
Our next meeting
is a holiday party and is scheduled on December 4th at “Spirit of
Philadelphia” cruise. Since sitting is limited I encourage you to
reserve your place earlier and yes, don’t forget to bring a gift to
exchange if you wish so. Our new year’s meetings are also lined up and I
am exited about the locations and speakers. You are encouraged to visit
our website for more details of December’s holiday party and other
events.
Once again,
wishing you happy and healthy holidays……
