I wanted to drop you a personal note concerning our upcoming SE Regional AFS Conference in Birmingham, March 28th through March 30th. Our Speaker program and other activities are shaping up well to offer you an informative, thought provoking and fun series of events you will not want to miss. Please mark your calendars and commit to joining many of your friends and co-workers in our great industry for this educational and enlightening experience.

The January 2012 Newsletter is now available online. Check out the Next Meeting Page for all the details about the upcoming meeting. We had a good time at the Christmas party. Just Friends did an outstanding job of providing the musical entertainment. Thanks to all those who contributed door prizes, they are listed in the newsletter on page 4. And an additional thanks to all who contributed to the Toys-for-Tots, through your efforts we donated over 20 presents and $150.00 to this worthy cause. Happy New Year to all. As we look forward, the Birmingham Chapter has a terrific lineup through the end of our fiscal year. For those of you keeping track, we purposely scheduled the January meeting for the third Monday because of what we hoped would be a conflict on the second Monday (somebody has a football game). See the details for the meeting on the front page. February we have our second travel meeting of the year. Once again we are off to Meridian, Mississippi. Come and join us. This is an opportunity to network with those who can’t usually make the meeting because of the travel distance. March, what can I say. The South East Regional is here in Birmingham. We have an excellent slate of speakers and rumor has it that there will be at least one national committee meeting, a golf outing and the opportunity for a plant tour. April is the student casting competition and the naming of the student scholarship awardees. The competing schools will update on what they have been doing as well as tell about their castings, which they are to display and sell at the Regional. May will be the annual recognition meeting. Be sure to come and celebrate those who have made the Chapter such a success through all these years.
