Don't ask "What can my BBQ Association do for me", ask "What can I do for my BBQ Association!"
Does that remind you of anyone you know? President Kennedy once made that bold statement to inspire America and Americans across the nation. I am saying it now because I have been inspired by one of our long standing members Mr. Claudio Reck.
Claudio has always been what I consider one of our strongest, most loyal BBQ Ambassadors. He is always there for any contest and first to volunteer to serve as a Judge, a helper, a Pit Master for any and all projects when we put the "All Call" out for help. Claudio has attended about every training camp and class that we have ever had and this time he really went the extra mile to serve his BBQ Association.
Claudio, his wife Janine and the kids, on behalf of The Caribbean BBQ Association and without being asked or prompted to do so, went to the San Juan Community Library on Saturday April 12th when the library was having a sale. They set up a booth, hung up the BBQ banner and fired up the BBQ grill. Claudio bought about 25 pounds of meats and grilled for the crowd and just promoted the BBQ Association all on his own and just for the heck of it. He wanted to raise awareness of our association to the public.
I commend you, Janine, and your kids for that supreme and unselfish effort, Claudio. That was so cool!
I thank you and so does the Board of Directors.
Now that is what I call a real BBQ Ambassador.
