The President's Message

By Kim Koch

It is hard to believe we are in that stretch again where we are gearing up for CRC and Research Promotion and at the same time winding up our regular meetings for the year. This month will be the second meeting of the year organized by our Sustainability Chair Tom Hanlon along with help from James Dayer and Chris Ahne. Together they have put together a unique experience and opportunity for everyone.

We will be meeting and riding together on a bus down to Bethel Middle School in Bryant. This school will give us an opportunity to tour a LEED building that has been in operation and heavily used by students and faculty. The Bethel Middle School and the Bryant School District have received a lot of press and recognition for their commitment to Sustainability. We look forward to seeing you on the bus. Good News. The reduced rate for the hotel room reservations for CRC has been extended to April 7th. The West Texas chapter has been working hard to put together a fun and educational CRC for all members.. The CRC website is up and running and new information is being added all the time. Check it out at http://www.crclubbock.com/. to make your hotel and plane reservations.

We will be looking for people to fill committee positions prior to CRC so please take some time to consider if you would like to take this opportunity to get involved in the chapter.
