Letter from The
chairperson Dear Members: Our chapter year is progressing well. The last meeting, held jointly with the Southern Chapter, was well attended by Hartford Chapter members. We are scheduling some very interesting “must attend” programs coming during the rest of the year. If you’ve held off on coming to a meeting, this is your opportunity to get to know your fellow members, and “network” along with listening to interesting speakers. In March we are aiming to bring in a National Trustee speaker and in April, we are having Roger Crouch, Chief Scientist for the International Space Station, pay a return visit to Hartford in conjunction with Materials Week in Connecticut and a special program with the Hartford public schools. The meeting will be held at UCONN and give us an opportunity to tour the material science facilities. In May, our annual UCONN student speaker contest and a special plant tour in June. We have already added a couple of new sustaining members to our roster and are always looking to add more. Is your company a candidate? The benefits are numerous. Call Stu Weiss for more information. Anyone wishing to be added to the e-mail distribution of this newsletter can do so by contacting Arnie Grot at ArnieG1457@aol.com If you haven’t checked out the web site for this chapter, won’t you please take a moment and do so. The B2B buzz hasn’t passed us by – our web site is open for commerce as well as information, and links of interest to all. Anyone with ideas for speakers, programs, suggestions or whatever, your executive board is always happy to hear from you. On behalf of the Officers and the Executive Committee, I want to take this opportunity to wish all of our members and friends and their families a HEALTHY AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON. See you in January. With best regards, Harley Gaimes Executive Committee
