Hello everyone,

Christmas is coming!  For me, this is a time to stop and reflect on Jesus’ birth, have a break from work, get together with family, give (and receive) presents, and eat good food.

Speaking of food and social get-togethers, ASHRAE Saskatoon is having our annual Past President’s Social.  See Jeff’s Programs Chair write-up for more details.  Be warned: I have pool skills beyond the understanding of most people.  Most people cannot understand how my pool playing could improve after I spin around getting dizzy, but they may catch on to the idea that my playing cannot get much worse.  It should be a fun tournament and a grand shindig.

ASHRAE President Lynn Bellenger has chosen “Modeling a Sustainable World” as her presidential theme for the year.  She is coming to Saskatoon on Monday, January 10, 2011 to speak to us.  I plan to invite a variety of non-ASHRAE groups to join us: contractors, architects, engineers, designers, spec writers, and maybe a few others, so I would like to suggest you all mark your calendars for both the Past (Saskatoon chapter) President’s Social and the current (international) president’s visit.

Merry Christmas everyone!
