On June 3rd thru June 5th Phoenix Chapter hosted the Region 4 Presidents meeting. We chose Valley Ho Hotel for our meeting site and everyone was very pleased with accommodations and even the weather. Zurn and our very own Dana Jones hosted the dinner party on Thursday night and PVI - Jeff Harris and Scott Van Horne hosted the dinner on Friday night.
Kohler Company sponsored the breakfasts and water bottles.

Thank you all for the sponsorship and support.
Phoenix chapter greeted everyone with mini Patron bottles and shot glasses with saguaro cactus inside.
The meeting was very productive, and big focus was on the membership, that is hurting due to the economy.
Also our big event is the convention coming up in Philadelphia at the end of October thru November 3rd. This is our biggest event for plumbing engineers. Please talk to any of the board members for more info, or get on the ASPE web site for more info.
Thanks, and see you at the meeting.

Dorothy Thrasher, CPD
President
