Feeling hungry? Want to know who makes the best chili in Design? How about some great dessert? Mark next Tuesday, Oct. 16, on your calendar, and come to the Lakeshore Learning Center. For a small fee ($3 for chili, $3 for dessert or $5 for both) you can enjoy AND judge the chilis and desserts. Pay your fees at the door from 11:30a.m.-1p.m. (or until the food is gone). All proceeds will go the SECC campaign (best chili and dessert winners to choose the charities). Stick around and enjoy the Olympic Tongue Twister Challenge.

An expert panel of judges will choose winners for many categories, and the overall winner will choose which charity will receive the money raised by the contest.
Thanks to Tootsie Roll counters
The Statewide and Urban Travel Analysis Section thanks all those who participated in the "Guess the Number” contest. $172 was raised to benefit SECC. The total number of Tootsie rolls in the jar was 1,232. The first-place winner, with a guess of 1,228 (winner was number closest to, but not over, the actual number), was Karry Lenon, who won a stay at the East Lansing Marriot (donated by the hotel). Karry designated the money raised to benefit the Capital Area Humane Society. Jim Fillwock took second place, with a guess of 1,234, winning lunch for two at the Capitol City Grill. Third place went to Michele Klein, who won the container of Tootsie Rolls, for her guess of 1,235.
