Presidents Corner (September 2012)
By: Phil Newby

Welcome back for another great year of ASHRAE. We are lining up some good technical programs for this year.

We are starting off with a program on "New Seismic Standards", followed in October by a program on "Changes in Computer Room Cooling Systems". Our November meeting will be held on November 14th as our regular third Wednesday would be the day before Thanksgiving.

We are also planning to have several YEA (Young Engineers in ASHRAE) events this year. The first event will be a lake outing and cook out at the home Tom and Susan Werkama on Saturday September 29th (weather date Sunday September 30th). Tom has designed a very energy efficient and beautiful home on the lake in Louisville. There will be tours of the home showcasing the energy efficient systems and compnenets. There will be boating, tubing, swimming, food and fun. While we especially want our YEA members to come out, all of our members are welcome.Andrew Myers (andymubb@gmail.com) is our YEA Chapter Chair and is coordinating the event. Andrew is planning to have several YEA events throughout the year.

We are increasing the cost of the meals to $20 for members and guests, $15 for YEA members, and $5 for students members. With this modest increase, we can have more choices for the meals and desserts.We will also be setup to accept credit cards at the registration table. Of course, cash or check is also accepted.

Walter Law, John Sealy and all of the volunteers from the Chapter went all out and made the CRC a great success. A lot of hard work went into putting the CRC on and our Chapter put on one of the best CRC's in memory. Here is the link to the photos from the evnt 2012 CRC Photos

Thank you for your support this year.
