From the Vice President

Over the next few months, we will be putting together an ASHRAE Product Directory for the Gold Coast Chapter. It will list Manufacturers Representatives with cross references to specific products. We will also list a current Membership Directory for our Chapter, along with other useful information. Anybody with information that would be useful to have in this directory should contact me at 954-585-4304 or amesser@ccgmail.com. We plan on having this directory be a free publication to all active members, with additional copies being available for a nominal cost. We should be able to do this by having interested members/vendors include advertising within their particular section of the directory.

I will bring a copy of such a directory with me for the next meeting. See you there!

A word from the Resource Promotion's Chair:

The 13th Annual ASHRAE Gold Coast Chapter Golf Tournament to support ASHRAE Research was held on October 15th. The weather was cool and the morning’s rain cleared in time to provide sunny skies over the beautiful Jacaranda Country Club. If you were there you probably enjoyed yourself as much as most attendees and myself. I would first like to thank all those businesses and individuals who supported the event by either being a hole sponsor or playing golf. The Golf tournament was successful again this year as it raised $12,787.80 for ASHRAE Research. Special thanks goes out to Rick Ellison of Diversified Fluid Controls who organized the entire event, purchased hole sponsorships, entered foursomes in the tournament, and provided the services of two of his employees during the event. I would like to congratulate the winners of the tournament as well.
