PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:


As the weather stats to heat up so have the activities with our chapter.  I want to congratulate Chick McBrien , Thad Goodman and Jim McDonald  on the success of the Design Columbus 2008 trade shaw.  I believe this year was one of the best show and it was due to the hard work of the committee to boost attendance and get outstanding presenters.

 

The attendance at our last monthly meeting was close to 100 to hear Ed Jarger talk about Green Roofs their practical considerations in design and construction. Our  May meeting brings a topic of Woodworking Quality  for Lumber and Trim presented by Kent Gilchrist.  Please put this on your calendar and make reservation by May 7th to Alicia Holloway.    

I would like to thank Jeff Schumaker for his hard work  providing the great topics for our monthly meetings. 

Lastly I would like to congratulate and introduce our new directors for next year.  The new directors are Adam Olson, Allen Sams and Wes Van Autreve.  We will also have a new secretary, Jim McDonald,  and Thad Goodman will be our new 2nd Vice President. The rest of the board is listed below and I look forward to seeing everyone at our May meeting.
