MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
The tour of
Anspach is on May 20. The last time I toured their facility with
the section, they were introducing a new product line. It will be
interesting to see what new surgical tools they’ve come up with.
The joint ASME/SWE picnic is set for June 20th. We’re still
working out the details with SWE (Society of Women Engineers), but the
tentative location is Carlin Park, in Jupiter. Watch for the June
e-newsletter for the final details or check the newsletter online.
You’ll see some young
officers taking charge in the next program year: incoming Chair
is Dan Belotto, and incoming Vice Chair/Programs Chair is Christopher
Lall. And of course they will have the support of all the
familiar faces of the Executive Committee members that you already
know! Congratulations to Dan and Christopher, and many thanks to
the outstanding Executive Committee.
I’d like to thank
everyone who adheres to the reservation process for section
events. In general, we do very well with the process. Just a
reminder about the reservation process: If you make a reservation for
one of the section events, you are expected to show up, or notify us in
advance if you cannot make it to the event. Additionally, if you
don’t make a reservation, please don’t just show up! Many of the
tours have limits on how many persons are allowed on the tour.
Unfortunately, for the E-Week Banquet, five (5) members made
reservations and did not show up, which cost the section $250, as we
had to pay for these five meals. This cost represents nearly ten
percent of our yearly operating allotment from ASME!
This is the last printed newsletter for this program year. See
you at the next meeting!
Patrick Sheehan, P.E.
