HAPPY NEW YEAR. First off may I say that I hope
that your 2006 was great and that your 2007 will be
even better!
I would also like to thank everyone who contributed to make our 2006 Christmas Party a great success. Special thanks must go out to Waylon Ethridge, Robert Bouknight, and Bryan Holcomb for the hours setting up, planning, buying the supplies and coordinating the party. Great Job guys! We are bringing value to your membership dollars early this year by kicking off the new year with a seminar on the new Master Format. This will be brought to us by our very own Chuck Gulledge an ASHRAE Distinguished lecturer. We are having a very special meeting price and hope to see everyone there. Business is better than it has been in years and with everyone running so hard it is easy to make excuses about how you do not have time to invest in ASHRAE. We have several events that take no more than an hour of your time that will help in student membership. Education of Math and Science is of up most importance and we are looking for volunteers to do several community outreach items associated with Math Counts and with Engineers week. If you want to be involved then please drop me an e-mail and if someone ask you to be involved please donate a little time and show the community that our Society is serious about helping society. North Piedmont has decided to not only help with the manning of Math Counts but also we have helped finally support this worth while cause. Math Counts is a program run by the North Carolina Professional Engineers Education Committee and helps bring additional attention to the sciences. Have agreat new year and see you January 24th at the Brady Trane facility on North Church Street at 12 noon. Lunch will be provided. Bryan Lampley |

Thanks to everyone who helped out with putting
together the December meeting/Christmas party. I

The Christmas party was a huge success for ASHRAE
resource promotion. After the dust settled, we were
able to send a check to ASHRAE research for over
$10,000!
Thanks to all of the North Piedmont member and corporate sponsors that continue to help the North Piedmont chapter remain one of the top chapters in the world when comparing resource dollars donated per member. I would like to thank all the Platinum Sponsors that have helped us get the year started. Our goal for 2006-2007 year is $26,000. We are well on our way there! |
