President's Message - May 2012
Dear Members and Associates,
It’s finally starting to feel like spring. It seems to have arrived late this year, but I don’t think anyone will complain about the rainfall accumulations over the past couple of months. The rainfall totals were looking very bleak as we headed into March, but Mother Nature came through once again. Now it’s time we get all of our ducks in a row for the hot summer months ahead.
Our March training event in Lake County was very well attended. I would like to give a big thank you to our trainers: Richard Vierra with Water Opcert School, Brandy Hancocks and John Spitler with Golden State Water Company, and Ronald Smith with United States Fish & Wildlife Service. The presentations were informative and well received by all in attendance.
Don’t forget to sign up for our 26th Annual Trade Show and Training Symposium on June 20th at the Villa Chanticleer in Healdsburg. We have a great day lined up with 3 tracks of training, awards, scholarships and dozens of vendors on hand to show you the latest and greatest in the water industry. I should also mention the BBQ lunch is the best around. Registration forms are attached and available on our website at www. wcwwa.org.
The transition onto our new software continues to move forward and is nearly complete. This time staking process would not be possible without the diligent efforts of our Secretary, Hilary Richards. I would like to personally thank her and the rest of the Board for their hard work as we take WCWWA to the next level. I would also like to mention that we have a couple of vacancies on our Board (hint, hint). So, if you would like to join our team we welcome you with open arms. We can be reached at winecountywwa@yahoo.com or give us a call at (707) 570-2807.
I look forward to seeing everyone in Healdsburg on June 20th.
Paul O. Harris III, WCWWA President
