Hello,
Time has passed rather quickly. My three years in the chair rotation including this year as chair are about finished. We have had good meetings, informative meetings, and started traveling to Mississippi. We have had meetings interrupted with fire alarms and tornado warnings. The recent SE Regional was a great success. The foundry-in-a-box has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined, the student casting competition only gets better, and our scholarship program is continuing.

I can’t begin to thank all those who have helped me during the past three years. Some have helped because that is what they do, some because they were asked, and some had to be coerced. Regardless, thank you all for your help in keeping the Birmingham Chapter the best in the association, I couldn’t have begun to do it without you.

Congratulations to all the students who participated in the casting competition. This is indeed a program that has grown into something we can be proud to be sponsoring. The castings and engineering and use of “current technologies” are really impressive.

Please plan on supporting the Birmingham Chapter in the years to come. Volunteer, Mentor, or Donate. It is your efforts that make the Chapter great. Thanks for the year.

Sincerely and with Much Appreciation,
Dave
