PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
The August Dinner Meeting at the Strand was well attended by members and their guests, as might be expected with Jim Mudd, the Collier County Manager as the guest speaker. Mr. Mudd expounded on the role of the professional engineer in government and detailed some amazing predictions on growth in Collier County. If his predictions come true - we will all be busy for the next decade. I want to thank all of those who attended the meeting, along with Jim Mudd for making the Calusa Chapter one of the best.
Next month’s dinner meeting will also be an exciting event with Kelly Townsend as the guest speaker. Kelly is a powerful speaker that Empowers People and Organizations to Fulfill New Possibilities. With the hectic business schedules we all have, Kelly vows to gives us the inspiration we need to get through another day and improve our business relations with clients and fellow workers. Please sign up for this meeting, scheduled for October 20th at Fiddlesticks Country Club in Fort Myers.
Other coming events this fall include the Golf Tournament on October 15th at Stonebridge Golf Club, a presentation by Ralph Verrastro from Delta Engineering on techniques used by Land Developers for minor bridge design and the Holiday Party with APWA, ITE and ASCE in December. Come on out and meet the new members in Calusa Chapter and enjoy the festivities.
