PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

July 2010

For those of you that attended our 24th Annual Trade Show and Training Symposium on June 16th in Healdsburg, you already know what a great event this was. I want to thank all of the attendees, the vendors, the trainers, the wonderful volunteers from the Town of Windsor, Ann Hill from Brelje and Race Labs, the crew from MSA for a fabulous barbecue lunch, and our most excellent Board of Directors for all their hard work in making this year such a success.

As I mentioned last month, the City of Napa has graciously agreed to host this year's tour at their newly upgraded Jamieson Canyon Water Treatment Plant. We are planning to meet at the Napa Valley Elks Lodge at 2840 Soscol Avenue in Napa at 12:30 p.m. From there we will carpool to the Treatment Plant (about 9 miles) for a 1:00 p.m. tour. This will be followed by a training presentation on Active Mixing in Drinking Water Storage Tanks presented by PAX Technologies at the Elks Lodge from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. A social period will be held from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. with dinner at 5:00. Information on the Jamieson Canyon Upgrade Project is available at the City of Napa's website at www.cityofnapa.org if you want a sneak peek.

We currently have a vacancy on our Board of Directors. Please consider becoming a part of a great group of people working toward providing low cost training opportunities, networking opportunities and a forum for local issues surrounding our industry. Please contact us at wcwwa@sbcglobal.net or check our website for application or nomination forms. I would like to see some representation from the north counties (Lake or Mendocino) but all interested parties will be equally considered.

I hope you are all having a safe and pleasant summer filled with friends, family and fun.
