Dear Chapter Members:

Last month’s annual May Beehive Chapter Training Conference, held at Aspen Grove Conference Center was a great success. Deepest appreciation and thanks go to Bruce Palmer, Chris Swenson, and John Little for helping me out each day of the conference and going out and acquiring so many great door prizes. Special thanks also go out to Paul Ashton and Roger Evans for their fantastic classes that they taught. Finally, well earned "kudos" for Brent Taylor, who not only taught a super plumbing class but also got amazing plumbing door prizes (sinks & fixtues) donated for the conference.

Hopefully each of you reading this letter and minutes was able to attend at least one (1) day of the Conference. All the classes were very informative, had handouts, visual aids, or class manuals. Each of the instructors were well prepared and everyone earned their all important CEU’s. Several attendees won door prizes each day during the breaks. The catered lunches, prepared by Aspen Grove staff, were great, plenty of food during the breaks, and no went away hungry. All in all, the Conference was well thought out, prepared, and attended. The venue itself was spectacular and the weather this year was superb. The final payments are being sent out and the Chapter is awaiting partial reimbursement from the State of Utah.

I don’t know about the other jurisdictions but I hope it gets busier in the residential sector! The Commercial side has been fairly steady and is peaking right now in Provo. Interest rates are fairly low (if you can get your loan approved), contractors and homeowners still want to begin constructing residences, and all municipalities seem to be feeling the "pinch" of a tight economy. For those that have submitted plans, they want their plans/project approved NOW or YESTERDAY and patience is in seemingly short supply.

Hopefully each of you will soon be able to find out what the word vacation means and enjoy some well-deserved "R&R" with your family even better would be just a long weekend away with your spouse. Make certain you set aside time or the summer months will be over before you know it. Please plan to set aside the evening of August 20^th so you can attend the annual chapter bar-b-que–it will definitely be at my home in Mapleton this year.

If you’re lucky enough to get away prepare well ahead for the trip and be SAFE!! Too many accidents/injuries result from fatigue or "over doing it" as we try to cram everything into just a few days. BE SAFE, the Chapter wants you back reading these letters and chuckling to yourself in the future. See you this coming Wednesday, June 18^th, Noon, Orem City Bldg., Rms. 106/107! "Pete" Petersen, from Boise Cascade, will be presenting.

Hope all of you have a great, relaxing, and safe summer with your family!!

　

Skip Tandy, Beehive Chapter Secretary
