Message From The Chair
 Pamela Vaillancourt
 November Message 

 

 

 

Hello CSIFT Members,

 

For our October Dinner meeting, we should all thank our CSIFT House Committee for selecting the Morton Arboretum - we had a gorgeous fall day and autumn leaves were simply stunning - beautiful colors of yellow, red, and orange. 

 

Do you know the history of the Morton Arboretum and Morton Salt Company and how they are connected?  We were delighted to have Morton Salt as our October meeting sponsor and Ben Collins, their Central West District Sales Manager shared the "Morton" link. 

 

The Arboretum was also the perfect location to listen to our speaker, Dr. Robert Gravani who gave an update on IFT and an excellent presentation on food recalls and risk communication - we all learned that you must always be planning and updating your plan!    Read More...
