- NOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT -
Prepared by
Abdul Maoued, President
FLUID POWER SOCIETY,
It is my pleasure to write to you again about our chapter activities. We had a great meeting on March 20th at the Heritage Center in Perry were we toured Ditch Witch museum and participated in an informative presentation on contamination control by Suzan Arterbery. We are thankful to Charles Machine Works, Inc. for their continuous support.
Steve Earl, our past Treasurer with the help of other volunteers from the chapter is in the process of putting together a professionally produced chapter newsletter. This would be a great opportunities for local companies to advertise their products, services, sales departments contact information, employment opportunities and more. There would be a modest fee to cover the newsletter production cost and to generate money for our scholarship fund. If you or your company is interested to take part in this project please contact Steve Earl (see note on page 4).
In another
effort to raise money for our scholarship fund, we are planning a golf
tournament in August in

- Newsletter Ad Notice-
This is a repeat of the information printed in the last newsletter
concerning the possibilities of ads placed in our newsletter to
generate funds for our chapters goals and objectives. Steve Earl
our past Treasurer has volunteered to chair the committee to
handle this task. Again listed are a few ideas on generating
scholarship funds. Consider serving on this committee at the
March meeting.
1) Newsletter Employment Advertisements
I was approached by an organization inquiring about the
prospects of listing employment opportunities in our
newsletter for a fee. I have contacted several other
organizations about this opportunity with positive results.
2) Newsletter Business Advertisements
The opportunity for businesses to advertise their company,
products, services, training classes, educational
literature, etc.
3) Newsletter Salesman Numbers
List local and region salesmen numbers, e-mail addresses,
business card, etc.
This is a great opportunity to establish a scholarship fund for
developing local talent with newsletter generated income.
