Let‘s all take a leap. We have an extra day in February usually referred to as ―Leap Year‖. What will you do with this extra day? You could take this extra day and keep your resolution to attend all CSI functions in 2012. If you wanted to be a little mean spirited, you could inform your children that Christmas will be a day later this year. Try explaining ―Leap Year‖ to children. Wait, they are already upset that Christmas will be a day late, so they really do not care ‗why‘, only that Ole Santa will be delayed. HA! HA! I am just joking about Santa and Christmas. My intention is to get you to focus your attention on your CSI-Memphis Chapter.
Now here is a good thought: you have an extra day to remember your loved one‘s birthdays and anniversaries. We want you to do that. We want you to concentrate on your professions. We also want you to further your careers by attending as many certified educational courses as possible.
Okay, we know you are busy, and this next year may be tougher than last year. Remember to take the time to breathe and relax. At your CSI chapter meetings and other functions, you can do just this; but only if you attend and participate.
We have the second half of our CSI year just now starting, and we have lots planned. In February, we will have a two pronged Chapter meeting where we will honor our past chapter presidents and also have a program about the pro-posed pedestrian walk over the Harahan Bridge. In March, we will have our famous, 36th annual Products Display Show and all day CEU-approved seminar sessions with a complimentary breakfast and lunch. In April, we will have a program on the legalities of LEED design. In May we are planning a possible field trip to view the ThyssenKrupp Elevator facility in Middleton, Tennessee. In June, we are planning our annual Golf Tournament, and we will close out our year with the annual awards banquet..
So, as you can see, we are going to be very busy, and that extra day in 2012 will be used up rather quickly. We are leaping ahead with motivation and confidence, and we want you along for the ride.
