Greetings,<br />
I hope everyone had a wonderful<br />
Thanksgiving celebrating with<br />
family and friends. I can’t<br />
believe we are at the start<br />
of the winter season already<br />
with sightings of snow and<br />
frigid temperatures. I’m sure<br />
you have successfully prepared<br />
your heating systems checking<br />
safeties, looking for cracked<br />
heat exchangers, examining<br />
water pressure gauges, changing<br />
steam traps and removing<br />
and cleaning burners, but it’s<br />
important to remember to<br />
monitor continuously throughout<br />
the winter season. Remember<br />
to reach out to our Associate members who can expertly assist you in<br />
completing these tasks.<br />
The Chief Engineers Association annual holiday event will be held on<br />
Wednesday, Dec. <strong>12</strong>th, at the Sheraton Hotel. As we come together with<br />
the board of directors, members and guests to celebrate the season, it’s<br />
also important to remember those in need. Every year, the association<br />
features a charity during the <strong>December</strong> meeting. We ask for donations<br />
and contribute all door monies to the cause. This year, the organization<br />
we will be supporting is A New Direction Beverly Morgan Park (AND),<br />
a grassroots group seeking to help women, men and children who<br />
are victims of domestic violence. A New Direction provides crisis<br />
intervention, safety planning, counseling, education and support as well<br />
as legal advocacy and resources to navigate the legal system to those<br />
in need. So how can you, as members, help? Please bring monetary<br />
donations or gift cards (grocery, gas, clothing stores, Visa, etc.) as your<br />
entry into the event. I thank you in advance for your generous support<br />
and partnership in benefiting this organization.<br />
I would also like to take this time to thank all of our members for<br />
their support in <strong>2018</strong>, vendors for their advertising and sponsorship,<br />
engineers for attending events and engagement with our sponsors<br />
and for bringing guests to show off our organization. As a board, we<br />
work hard to provide a variety of events so our vendors can showcase<br />
their products and services and engineers can come network. The<br />
relationships built at these events foster collaboration and provide<br />
endless resources. Thank you for being a part of this growing<br />
organization.<br />
I wish you and your families the very best as we enter the holiday<br />
season. I look forward to seeing everyone at the <strong>December</strong> meeting so<br />
we can toast to a successful <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dan Carey
