This chilly weather is making me think about one thing - chili! Join the ABC Young Professionals next Thursday, March 23 at 6pm to taste chili, place votes for your favorite one, and network.  All members are invited to attend and bring your friends, family, and coworkers.  $10 gets you in the door for all-you-can-taste chili, soft drinks, and beer.  Thank you to Batson-Cook for hosting, Barton Malow for sponsoring the beer, and these teams for making delicious chili.
