Milwaukee SPE President: Pete Kambouris 2009/2010

June 2010

This is it, the final newsletter for the year. As usual, there will be no technical meetings or plant tours until the start of the new year in September. This of course does not mean the Milwaukee Section will not have activities going on. We have two great events during the summer months for members and non-members alike.

The SPE Milwaukee Golf Outing will be held on July 12th, 2010. As is typical, the outing will be held at Mequon Country Club and will offer great golf, great food and great prizes. There will be no fishing event this year due to the decline of participants over the past few years.

The second event scheduled for this summer is the second annual Milwaukee SPE Membership Drive which will be held on Thursday, July 29th 2010 at the Milwaukee ALE House. This is a free event for non-SPE members. We are offering pizza, beer and appetizers for all attendees. We encourage you to attend even if you are a member. We also encourage you to mention this event to fellow employees who may not be SPE members yet. It is a fun and relaxed way to get to know your Milwaukee SPE Board members. The event takes place from 7pm until 10pm, but that doesn’t mean you have to leave. Last year we just about closed down the Ale House! Located in Milwaukee’s Third Ward, the Ale House is situated right on the Milwaukee River. We have access to the outdoor patio and if the weather is as nice as it was last year, it will be a great time.

If you are interested in attending these events, please register online at www.milwaukeespe.org.
Keep in mind that the Milwaukee SPE is here for you. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, please feel free to contact me at anytime. We are always looking for new ideas regarding technical programs, plant tours or exciting new ways to attract new membership.

Thank you for another great year, and have a great summer!
