From a March 17th Article in The Huntsville Times, by Steve Doyle
Moody's Economy.com, which previously ranked the Rocket City No. 2 for employment potential, elevated Huntsville to the top spot in its latest review of 378 metropolitan areas. Auburn-Opelika is ranked second nationally by Moody's, with Phenix City-Columbus, Ga. (seventh), Mobile (12th) and Montgomery (22nd) also faring well.
The new rankings appear in the latest issue of The Economist, a respected British financial publication.
"It's extremely significant," Joe Vallely, Huntsville's economic development director, said Tuesday. "Anytime you get a No. 1 ranking nationwide by a respected firm like that, it's big. They don't just give those puppies out." MORE…

Chef Ron's Cooking Demos A Crowd Pleaser
Recently, Chef Ron has been sharing some of his cooking expertise with our members up close and personally. He has conducted two cooking demonstrations to date. These pictures are from his first demonstration in January, during which he offered tips and suggestions for quick and easy tailgating delights. I think he had in mind helping the members make their Super Bowl parties successful. Several members attended his demo, despite the inclement weather.
His most recent class featured tips on making some chocolate deserts for your sweethearts. Naturally he was hoping you could use these ideas for your valentine. Ron plans to continue these cooking classes. In the coming months he plans to do an evening cooking demonstration, followed by dinner. Watch for future e-mails offering the details of those upcoming opportunities.
If you don't know Chef Ron, you may not be aware of what a pleasant person he is. He does an excellent job with these classes and is very warm and fun to be around. If you haven't attended a demo already, make plans to come in the future.
See you around the club,
Jack
