Well we are off and running! I would like to extend
my deepest thanks to Robert Bouknight and Bryan
Holcomb for the effort that they put into securing a
great location and a great caterer.
Warm thanks go out to Chris Edmonson for bringing us a great topic. Again I challenge anyone to fall asleep in a Chris Edmonson lecture. If you missed the meeting then you missed a great opportunity to learn how to keep it from “Raining if your boiler”. And if you do run into a situation where you have a boiler that is 2 years old and is damaged because of acid in the boiler then don’t come looking at North Piedmont Chapter because “IT’S NOT OUR FAUT!!” Our meeting this month is one that you, your company and your customers need to be at. We have a speaker that makes his living as a professional project manager. He is coming to delivery the Tech topic and Main topic on tools and tricks to make your company more money on the projects you have now and will get in the future. This is an opportunity to hear a talk from a man that makes a living on what he knows and is highly compensated for talking to groups. Put it on your calendar and bring a customer. Trust me your customer will be blown away with bringing them to such a valuable meeting. Last but not least anyone that did not come last week because of concerns on parking is nutz! The parking deck right off of Elm has access directly to the Kress. PARKING IS FREE! Enter the deck and keep on driving and following the signs. It seems to take forever but you will park closer to the door than all but the handicap spots at the Marriott. It is a Breeze. Thanks to everyone for letting Robert know who was attending the meeting last month keep up the good work so that we can be sure and have plenty of food for everyone. |

Our September meeting was a Membership Promotion
Night and was very successful. I received four
applications for membership at the meeting and
handed out several more. Let’s keep on this role for
the October meeting and invite as many guests as
possible to come to this meeting. Be sure to invite
people who may be outside the HVAC industry but
are interested in what we do, i.e., Architects,
Building Owners, etc.
As always, we strive to have Positive Membership Growth. The key to this is Positive Net Growth is to have everyone renew their membership. In the next month I will be posting a list of the members who are delinquent. Please logon to the ASHRAE website and renew your membership has soon as possible. If there is anyone you know that might be interested in joining ASHRAE please have them call me. Kevin Heywood 336-292-8777 |

We look foward to a great year interacting with the
various educational venues in our area. Today's
students are the source of our future.
Consider spending a little extra time when explaining a concept that you are familiar with to others that may not be as much of an expert. Learning never stops |
