Chili Cook-Off champ crowned

The Macomb County
Bar Association (MCBA) recently hosted a Chili Cook-Off, inviting area
attorneys to either enter the contest with their own special recipe or
“be a taster and leave with a full belly.’ Carmen DeFranco (center), a
Macomb County assistant prosecutor, was the winner of the event, held at
the Discovery Center in Mt. Clemens. DeFranco is pictured with (left to

Young Lawyers Section; Dana Freers, MCBA president; Brandon Bennage;
Tanya Grillo, a member of the Macomb County Bar Foundation board of
directors; Sherriee Detzler, MCBA secretary; Macomb County Circuit Court
Judge Anthony Servitto; Probate Court Judge Aaron Hall; and Erin
Freers-Cole, MCBA treasurer.
