"In Moderation"
That is truly a statement that can't be said of the work Carl Jones has been doing in the Catersource Forum. Over the past 7 years, the Catersource Forum has more than quadrupled in both number of contributors and volume of online discussions and Carl has acted as moderator alone through it all.

Finally some relief has come as we welcome two new moderators the the ever-growing Catersource Forum. Bill Pannhoff and Georgie Rafati have joined the team and will be online to help answer questions and get you going in the right direction. Get to know both our new moderators in the November/December issue of Catersource magazine JOIN A DISCUSSION NOW >
