"We developed this format to more accurately reflect the distinct practice areas that exist within the public relations profession, as well as the proliferation of public relations practitioners and programs throughout the Delaware Valley," said Tau. "The great number of entries we received indicates and that the profession is strong and diverse in this region, and that PR continues to be vital to the strategic communications plans of many organizations." The Pepperpots are open to any individual or organization that has executed a public relations program in the Delaware Valley or has conducted a program in another market but is a member of the chapter, or is based in the Delaware Valley. Entries are judged by the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the PRSA. The Pepperpots were so named in 1968 by Bill Parker, APR, then-Chapter President and leader of Campbell Soup communications. He suggested the name to conjure up or make visible, as a spirit, by magic arts; hence, to invent; as, to conjure up a story; to conjure up alarms s>. See also: Conjure excitement, liveliness, and good-humored intrigue. "Like Philly's famous soup," Parker said, "we put everything we have into all of our public relations campaigns." The famous pepper pot soup originated during Washington's siege at Valley Forge. When Washington demanded a stomach-filling dish for his soldiers, the cook, after remarking, "There are only a few scraps in the kitchen," produced this fragrant soup. Tripe tripe the scalded and cleaned rumen and reticulum. The omasum is discarded because of the difficulty in cleaning between the leaves. , peppercorns and all the scraps went into the caldron and made this excellent soup. It soon put the men into such high spirits they cried out, "Bring on the Red Coats!" Celebrating its 50th anniversary from September 2002 to September 2003, the Philadelphia chapter of the PRSA is a vital resource for communications professionals throughout the Greater Philadelphia region. One of the largest PRSA chapters in the country, it offers its more than 450 members a variety of services including professional development, mentoring, networking, the region's preeminent communications job bank, and an opportunity to earn professional accreditation through the APR exam, PR's highest professional designation.
