FF Executive Assistant Arthur Ayeiy will set off for Phoenix on Sunday in the first of twelve stops over ten days on the first of three legs of a world scouting and contract negotiation tour. All four major FF leaders--Ayeiy, Executive Mgr. William Vanderbilt, Head Scouter Jim Dall, and Executive Assistant Beryl Shady--will set off for major negotiation trips in August and September, but Ayeiy has been sent off first, often to cities Dall or Vanderbilt will be visiting, as a method of "paving the way" for their visits.
Ayeiy will meet with eight current chefs and three prospective chefs in the first leg of the journey.
