Storm Mountain Chapter Updates ~ 4 May 2011
From Ted Cromer, Storm Moutain Chapter Director,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hello everyone,
Are you ready for some Dutch oven activities? We sure are as the leaders of the Storm Mountain chapter. The last Month or so we’ve been working on what we can do and how often we should try to do something. We thought that as a Chapter we should try to do something every month if we could. We realize folks are busy and everyone won’t make it to everything, but we hope you try to make a few of them. I think if things are going on and as people get involved it should help us as a Chapter to grow and enjoy some “Good Food Good Friends and Good Fun”. We realize that this is a big jump and might be stretching a bit, but I think we are up for it. So here we go…
In May we will participate in Roger B’s DOG
Date: May 21, 2011
Place: Hatch Park in North Salt Lake 50 West Center Street
Cook Time: 9:00
Eat Time: Probably around noon
In June Randy Brown will host a “Chuckwagon DOG”
Date: June 18, 2011
Place: 1940 Gander Lane SLC UT
Time: Start to cook at 9:30AM
Chow Time: 12:30PM
In July we will join Colleen Sloan and gang at The General Army Navy Store
Date: July 9, 2011
Place: 4974 S. Redwood Road SLC, UT.
Cook Time: 10:00
Eat Time: 1:00-2:00 or so
That will get us going. We have ideas for the rest of the year that we will get you information on so that you can get them on your calendars.
Here is some information about the DOGs. One or two of us will always bring a propane stove so that you can start you charcoal with, also someone will bring 5-10 gallons of water if you need it. We will have a donation jar if you would like to help with plates, utensils, etc.. Bring your own charcoal. DOGs will always be family friendly, bring your children and/or your Grandchildren. We really like the idea of using name tags. So we will be working on that even if it is just a sticker so that we all can get to know each other better. Remember you don’t need to cook anything fancy, simple is GOOD especially in a Dutch Oven. And please feel free to bring a salad or anything else to contribute to the potluck. Some of the DOGs will have themes. Follow if you want or cook anything you want. We are just trying to change it up a little and get some more folks out.
Some of you have asked if you could help out, and we will be calling you to see if you would like to help out or host one of the DOGs. If you would like to host one, let us know. We’ve talked or emailed with a few of you and we would like to hear from more of you and find out what you think about the Chapter and hear some ideas that you have to help us make a successful Chapter. If you have Facebook accounts or Blogs please feel free to promote the Chapter and its events. Spread the word to all your friends that would have fun joining us. If you have phone numbers for some of the past members or others in the Dutch Oven community give them a call and tell them to come visit us.

Storm Mountain Chapter updates to contact information
All,
As many of you know, the Storm Mountain Chapter has been somewhat less active in regards to communication over the last year or two. New officers were elected at the annual chapter meeting a couple of weeks ago and I really think the new officers are going to make a big difference.
With that said, I have created a form on the Storm Mountain Chapter website for contact information. I ask that each of you that is interested in being a member of Storm Mountain or for those that would like to be included with any chapter emails to complete this online form.
Here is a link to the Storm Mountain Chapter Members form. This form will ask for your last name, first name, street address, city, state, zip, preferred email, and preferred phone. This information will only be used by the officers of Storm Mountain to contact the members of Storm Mountain.
http://www.idos.org/stormmountain/chapter_sign_up.htm
Here is a link to a list of Storm Mountain Chapter members. This list will start to populate as soon as the chapter members start completing the form. This list will only show last name, first name, city and state.
http://www.idos.org/stormmountain/chapter_members.htm
If you have any questions, or comments, feel free to contact Ranes at ranescarter@gmail.com.
Many thanks,
Ranes

Email sent by Ted Cromer on 11 April 2011
To all Storm Mountain members:
My name is Ted Cromer I am the new Storm Mountain Chapter Director. I know some of you, and I hope to be able to get to know more of you while we all get involved with the Storm Mountain Dutch Oven Chapter. The Assistant Director is Rick Berry, and his wife Vicky is the Treasurer, a lot of you know them and have seen them working and cooking. Our Secretary is Brenda Atkinson, her and her husband Del have hosted DOGs at their home in previous years. We all look forward to lots of Good Food, Good Friends, and Good Fun!
We would like to get all of your ideas on how we can grow the chapter and also the kind of events or activities that you would like to see going on, how often, where, or whatever? We have a lot of ideas we would like to see, but we thought it would be best to see what some of your ideas would be first before we let you know ours. Please just respond via email and if you know other members that are not on email. (We know there has to be a ton of those) let them know also.
We realize each one of us have different talents and abilities in Dutch Oven Cooking so we thought it would be fun to try some new things, and or learn some new things about it. We know a lot of us just sit in the background and don’t say much. So if you could let us know your thoughts that would be great? We will try and keep regular things going on. We know it is hard to schedule the perfect time because we are all busy, but we will give it a try. If you have a place or an idea where we could hold a DOG please let us know.
Here is our contact information:
Ted Cromer 801-694-4862 tgcrom@gmail.com
Rick & Vicky Berry 801-755-7068 1rberry@comcast.net
Brenda Atkinson 801-381-7380 brenda.atkinson1000@gmail.com
We’ll try to send a regular email to all of you to keep you updated. We are working on a calendar now.
We think we can really have some fun with this. Some of you may be saying it’s not like it was in the beginning (Whenever that was for you) we need a lot of you old timers (not necessarily age) helping us out. We have a lot of folks that have cooked in Dutch ovens for a very long time, past world champs and other very knowledgeable cooks in this group, and it would be good to hear how you do things. Sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone. (We know because we’ve been there too) We also need to get new people involved and learning. All the cooks I know love to share their ideas.
By the way if you are new welcome to the group!
Well this was way too long, time to get Cooking!
Ted, Rick, Vicky, and Brenda
