The NIOA newsletter

Spring has sprung, the dandelions are growing & it is mushroom time! I hope this newsletter finds you well! Here are a few items to keep in mind as you try to catch up on mowing!

Good afternoon everyone! We regret to announce that we are cancelling the April NIOA training in Warsaw.

We have had a couple members ask about the status of CEU's - we are still actively working with IDEM to get previous training CEU's approved and applied to everyone who attended. This is a high priority issue for us & we are working to get this resolved as soon as possible,

A quick reminder of Pump Operation & Maintenance Training on Wednesday, March 11, starting @ 10:30 am. We are applying for 3 technical CEU's for both Water & Wastewater licenses. Water Superintendent Tom Selman will give us a tour of one of Angola's drinking water treatment plant. After lunch, Ray Warren, Service Manager for Homa Pump Technologies, will discuss operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of submersible pumps. 

Good Mornining everyone!  Hope everyone is staying warm during this cold spell.

This is just a note to let everone know that the March and April meetings are listed on the event calander.  There is no meeting in May and we may be in Kendallville for June.  The golf outing in July is still in the search phase for a location.

Enjoy your day.

Because of the predicted cold temps and that there isn't anything new at the Bremen plant, the meeting on Wednesday will only be a hour presentation by Lindsay Grossmann on Lab Safety and Sampling.  It will be for only 2 CEU's and no lunch will be provided.  Please check to NIOA website for a map to the Bremen Fire Station. 

Thanks,

Due to low numbers, the golf outing and meeting forJuly 9th has been rescheduled for Aug 13th.  We will still need to get 40 golfers for the outing.

Thanks and be safe,

As of 10:30 AM today, I only have 6 golfers registered for Wednesday's outing in Bremen.  If I don't have at least 40 golfers by 2 PM today, the outing will have to be canceled.  The golf course needs that many to justify the cost they gave to us and closing the course for us. Please respond to this email ASAP if you are interested in golfing Wednesday.  More information is on the NIOA website in the calander events tab.

Thanks,

Joe Hughes

We also are now without a vice president due to a change of jobs.  Interested members can contact me and we will discuss the position.
