2. THIS YEAR'S NUMBER OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED NOMINEES MADE THE SELECTION PROCESS VERY DIFFICULT. THE FINALIST EVALUATION TEAM REPORTED OUTSTANDING FINDINGS IN FOOD SERVICE OPERATIONS AT EACH OF THE NOMINATED UNITS. PROFESSIONALISM AND DEDICATION TO MISSION SUPPORT WERE ALSO PREVALENT AT EACH INSTALLATION. UNFORTUNATELY, SCHEDULING RESTRICTIONS PREVENTED SOME OF THE UNITS FROM BEING
VISITED, SO THE SELECTION DECISIONS IN THESE CATEGORIES WERE BASED ON THE NOMINATION PACKAGES SUBMITTED. I STRONGLY URGE THOSE COMMANDS NOT SELECTED FOR THE AWARDS THIS YEAR TO REAPPLY NEXT YEAR AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPERB JOB EACH OF THE NOMINATED COMMANDS ARE DOING. WELL DONE!

3. WINNING COMMANDS WILL BE PRESENTED CGEFS AWARDS AT THE JOINT MILITARY FOOD SERVICE AWARDS PROGRAM AND TRAINING SYMPOSIUM AT THE HYATT REGENCY O'HARE HOTEL, CHICAGO, IL, 6-9 APR 00. COAST GUARD FOOD SERVICE AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED ON THE EVENING OF 7 APR 00. ALL MEMBERS OF THE COAST GUARD FAMILY, INCLUDING FRIENDS AND RELATIVES, ARE INVITED TO ATTEND AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. IN ADDITION, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL AREA UNIT FS PERSONNEL TO ATTEND NO-COST TRAINING IN WHICH CG PERSONNEL ARE MEMBERS OF THE STAFF CONDUCTING THE TRAINING. SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION MAY BE OBTAINED FROM AREA FOOD SERVICE ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING TEAMS (FSAT).

4. WINNING AND RUNNER-UP COMMANDS ARE AUTHORIZED TO SELECT ONE FS REPRESENTATIVE TO ATTEND THE AWARDS PROGRAM. WINNING AND RUNNER-UP COMMANDS ARE ALSO AUTHORIZED TO SELECT ONE FS TO ATTEND THE AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. THE CGEFS AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IS TWO WEEKS OF NUTRITION AND BAKING TRAINING AT THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA, HYDE PARK, NY.
