The chili cook-off was incorporated with Bahrain’s “All Hands,” which included a brief on a variety of subjects. It also included the “Hails and Farewells” and the First Quarter and Length of Service awards; as well as Letters of Appreciation.
The winners of the first quarter award were Omar Wissar and Lee Diaz. Letters of appreciation were awarded to Wissar Roderick and Ligorio Dias. Certificates for length of service were awarded to Jude De Souza and Shaima Haji.
