March is here!  Boating and hiking season is just around the corner!  In the meantime, things are heating up here at ASPE.

News From Society
Registration for the CPD exam ends 3/19/10.  The exam is 4/16/10 or 4/17/10. I'm not sure why the exam location cannot be determined until you register.

Our chapter has a CPD study manual.  If you are a chapter member, plan on taking the April Exam, and would like to borough the manual - just drop me a line at dpage5@nycap.rr.com.

For registration info see:  http://aspe.org/CPDCertification

The Expo in Philly is coming up.  Elsewhere on our website is info and a link for same.  ASPE webinars receive NYS Engineering PDHs and past webinars can be bought for viewing and they also provide NYS PDHs.

Chapter Meetings
We are in need of Table Top presenters for April - June.  If you can help us out, please contact the VPT Steve Howe at showe@mail.nysed.gov

Our last meeting was February 18, 2010 and the presentation was on Temperature Maintenance Cable.  Our speaker was Craig Drake of Tyco Thermal Controls.  The Table Top was provided by Burns Cascade and they provided several door prizes.  The chapter's door prize was Advanced Plumbing Technology by Steele.  The chapter provided One PDHs for this presentation. 

Our Next meeting is 3/18/10!  The topic will be on Meters.  Our speaker will be James Stanton, a Master Meter Sales Engineer, with the Vellano Bros.  The Table Top will be provided by Vellano Bros.  The speaker will provide 1 PDH for this presentation.  The chapter door prizes will be sundry useful items from our sponsors and a technical ASPE book.  Our April meeting topic will involve Medical Gases.  Our own Gary Chiurazzi has agreed to provide this presentation.
