2 From the President: I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday, I for one enjoyed a few much needed days off. It looks as though old man winter has settled in here in the Midwest with temps at or below zero at night. It is after all January. I am fortunate to have an exterior wood fired boiler that I heat my home with, with several nights below zero wind chills it was nice to hear the furnace kicking on repeatedly knowing I m not paying a gas bill. For those of you interested in taking the CPD exam, now is the time to get registered. Registration will close on March 19 th, information on registration and exam requirements can be found on the ASPE website.

If you are interested in the review class send me an so we can get a feel for interest and get you the information ahead of time. It s time to start thinking about golf; the golf outing committee will be meeting later this month to start planning this year s event. Our goal this year is to expand the event, possibly adding some higher profile prizes for the skills contest that everyone will enjoy, I think you re going to like it. We have had a request to look at some other locations for future outings, this year s event will be at Ironwood as in the past. The golf committee will research options for the 2011 outing after this year s event. I will have to say that a change of venue will be tough, we have had excellent luck with Ironwood and their staff. I look forward to seeing everyone at this month s meeting.
