Issue #3 March 31, 2015 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Message from Chip Smith, President: Well, the world is awash in sugar and the northeast is awash in snow. I'm sure that many hope that the market is not left in a long New England style "mud season". This month's newsletter contains items on the current market, along with the new dietary guidelines and other matters. Please enjoy them, as always. As mentioned in last month's newsletter, our Sugar Week luncheon will again be held at Smith and Wollensky's Steakhouse in Manhattan. Mike Gorrell of Imperial Sugar will be the speaker and we are hoping that you will all join us. Please RSVP to Bruce Penner at
[email protected] and send in your checks. We look forward to seeing you all there.
