TCGIS Auflauf Cook-off - Friday, October 15, 2010
Mix, sauce, and layer up your finest at the second annual TCGIS Auflauf Cook-Off! It's competitive, hot-dish-style action as TCGIS cooks face off over their best recipes. Celebrity judges will be on hand to evaluate entries in several categories, including German Traditional (Auflauf), American Traditional (tater-tot optional), and Spicy/Vegetarian. When the judging is done, everyone will have a chance to dish up at this community dinner. Tickets go on sale in mid-September--space is limited! The Cook-off will be at the Salvation Army Community Center at 2727 Central Avenue NE, Minneapolis--which has playspace for the kids!

Campbell's Soup labels

Those of us raised on casserole are old hands at bringing Campbell's Soup labels to school. TCGIS also collects these labels, which must include the UPC code. We earn points for each label, which can be redeemed for playground equipment, among other things. Drop your labels in--you guessed it--the big Campbell's soup can by the front desk.

Milk Caps from
Land O'Lakes & Kemps
