PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

April 2009

Planning is underway for the 23rd Annual Trade Show and Training Symposium at the Villa Chanticleer in Healdsburg. The event will be on Thursday, June 11, 2009. The WCWWA Board is putting together a training program sure to offer many timely and informative topics for our 23rd Show at the Villa Chanticleer.

All the things that make this our biggest event of the year will be back, and with the growth in turnout experienced in 2008 we are making changes to accommodate more participants. We're working to shorten the lines, improve classrooms and address the lack of parking so you can have a more enjoyable and productive day. Vendor registration is underway. Training sessions with CEU's will include:

The day will include morning and afternoon refreshments, the unbeatable BBQ by the Maintenance Superintendents Association, (MSA), scholarships awards, and the fun and fabulous raffles, including a $300 Grand Prize!

Wine Country's March 26th training and dinner meeting at Redwood Valley's Broiler Steakhouse provided a wealth of information on drought issues and conservation experiences in Mendocino County. I want to thank Bill Kohler, G.M. of Redwood Valley County Water District for stepping in to share with us the history of conservation efforts by his system to address the water supply shortage in their District. Also, a great big thanks to Sean White, G.M. of the Mendocino County Russian River Water Conservation and Improvements District. Sean is providing great leadership in addressing water supply issues today and into the future for the water systems relying on the Russian River for source water in the Ukiah Valley. Please don't miss these guys the next time we have them at a meeting.

Please join us on Thursday June 11, 2009, at the Villa Chanticleer in Healdsburg to learn from an impressive group of speakers and topics. Visit the Vendors and see how their products can help you. And to top the experience, mix and mingle with your friends and fellow water system operators. See you there!!
