The website will be funded by members and vendors, first to reach into his pocket was Andrew Whitcomb (pictured right) of Whitsons Food Service, second was Ed Daniels of Hospitality News, others will follow and John Carr (pictured left) will be one of the drivers to make sure this gets done and done right.
