With The Demise of Our President

[Ron Hill]

With the demise of the National Pepper Associations President, John Riner Woods. we lost control of the association. But with our new contract for social media, we have established control of the National Pepper Association. We are not connected with the America Pepper Association.

The National Pepper Association requires five peppers in every category to get points. The American Pepper Association requires only three peppers per category and they are not connected withe Union of International Pepper Growers.

With John Riner Woods demise, ,he left Gloria Crimm and myself in charge of the National Pepper Association. We are looking for volunteers for all Regons but Region 11 and 12.

We are considering, allowing Hawaii to be their own Region, except the peppers don't grow ell in Hawaii.

More later!

Ron...could you please explain how you earn points, and what are the categories?

[russhill]

Wayne, maybe I can give you some additional background info. First, in mentioning the officiers, Ron totally omitted the Treasurer. That would be ME. All monies should be sent to me. I, and my office are responsible also for high point tabulation.

All of this, of course, is clearly deliniated in the rule book. Classes, fees, and safety regulations. You might be particularly interested in one of the 12 NEW nostalgia classes.

Ron has a picture of four of our officiers recently taken. He might post it here. It is not a treasury issue, therefore I can't post it.

You guys are just to funny

Pepper Events aren't easy to promote. They seldom get any national attention.

We need more classes, black pepper alone can't carry the association:

I'm suggesting:

1.. Green Bell Pepper as class one

Green Pepper Division I

Will be home grown peppers

Green Pepper Division II

Will be store bought peppers or farmer's market peppers

Both divisions will require a minimum of four peppers for points. Division Championships will require 8 peppers to qualify for the Summer Nationals.

2. Red Peppers

All rules from Class one apply

3. Yellow Peppers

Same general rules as class one and two, EXCEPT Yellow Peppers will be eligible for Winter Nationals Champions because of their vitamin C content. Because grwoing Yellow Bell Pepper is so difficult, Yellow Bell Pepper's Winter Nationals can have four peppers to make an event.

More classes to come.

If you'd like to join the National Pepper Association send $25.00 VIA PAY PAL TO RONHILL@HILLMARINE.COM . New members do not get any voting rights for five years, as we don't want new member running the organization.

So my peppers would not be legal? They are not exactly home grown. They grow where they want to, they are red, they are tiny, and will burn your eyelid if you scratch without washing your hands three or four times. Would these be legal in an outlaw class? or open class?

[russhill]

Ron, You've always had what you called "hair-brained" ideas, but this time I think you've gone too far. Of course we want our association to grow like the good days, but we don't want to change.

You can't possibly be serious about allowing green peppers into our organization. Do you realize how many green peppers are out there. Most of them are pretty stock, but a lot of them could be illegals. I see nothing wrong with giving them an "associate" membership or something of the like, but giving them the opportunity vote??? They could take over. We could accept their dues and send them a monthly or quarterly magazine , if we had one--but the vote, NO! No way, no how, no time.

And YELLOW PEPPERS. You know how I feel about them. They aren't like us. They're lowly snakes, Sidewinders, Boa constrictors

Think about it. Yes, we need the money from them, but think what they could do to our insurance. We need to bring back the good old days, but no changes to our basic rules.

For a small nomanal fee( to be determned at a later date ) we can have a crack (head) team of infomation specalest from the south market your product , only where red and green pepper don't mix , because somethings are just not right , but this could grow in to a major event as long as nobody under stands the rules. LOL
I really wish some body was listin that could help the problem.
One more reason it don't go over in the south.

[Ron Hill]

Back when the National Pepper Association was in its "Glory Days", black pepper was the only recognized pepper.

Now, with jalapenos, banana peppers, wild Texas peppers, it maybe very difficult who will qualify for the Pepper Hall of Champions, as some regions don't have jalapenos.

I mean, Texas peppers can grow in December, how is this fair to people in the mid west where their *** is covered with snow in December.

Banana Squash, want to have their own Division. I guess a new Divisions would be good, but, we won't let them vote as they could easily take over if they had more members that the Black Pepper group. We need new members money, but not their vote.

Where is John Riner Woods when we need him?

[Ron Hill]

For a small nominal fee( to be determined at a later date ) we can have a crack (head) team of information specialist from the south market your product , only where red and green pepper don't mix , because somethings are just not right , but this could grow in to a major event as long as nobody under stands the rules.

I'd vote to give these specialist a chance to tell as what we may be getting for our MONEY.

I would assume that Specialists would know what they are doing so, maybe we should just turn everything over to them Then, we'd have now worries.

Then, we would have to have my brother balance the books.
