Presidents Corner
Thank you to all who braved the weather to attend our
2013 NASF/OC Christmas Party. The weather issues
gave us a late start, but everything went as planned
thereafter. The rain stopped, the clouds dispersed and
the moon shown through. What a great night to watch
the Newport Beach Harbor Boat Parade. I hope
everyone had a very enjoyable evening. I know I did.
And how about that live music, featuring Irvin Williams on Saxophone and Lenny
on keys…. What a great sound they had!
Why weren’t you all dancing?
Our speaker, Joe Conner, shared on the opportunities in the Metal Finishing
marketplace, especially in areas of funding, grants and opportunities for new
research and development, as there is a glut of money being held for investments
on a number of fronts. An extensive number of examples of funds available by
demographic areas were discussed.
Needless to say, Joe’s talk was humorous and interesting, and was thoughtprovoking and a great opportunity to follow up in the new year.
I also want to thank everyone who worked so diligently to make this Christmas
Party such a great success. The Elks Lodge was a wonderful venue and so
festively decorated, (a big thanks, to Chuck Hirbour, for suggesting the Elks
Lodge and connecting us with the event coordinator, Tracie ). Also, Kudos to
Carol, the bartender, who was a real gem and poured a mean drink. I finally
want to thank our superb board of directors for your hard work and great
communication to pull this wonderful event off.
I want to give a round of applause to everyone who donated gifts. Without
them, we would not have had the plethora of gifts to raffle off.
Those companies / individuals who donated gifts were:
The NASF/OC
Sirco Industial, Inc.
General Brite Plating
BFK Solutions
Doug Sear/Optiforms
Ecosystems
ADS Gold
EMS Laboratories
Ron Barauskas
Krzysztof Bukowiec/Technic
If I forgot to mention someone’s name, let me know and I’ll make sure you get
recognition.
This month, we are pleased to bring back a crowd pleaser….
Frank Altmayer.
I know you all will want to come out and hear what he has to say on
masking for selective plating. Frank has a wealth of knowledge to share
with you so take advantage of his visit and glean all the information you can
from him. Lets give Frank a real Sunny California welcome.
Best wishes for a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year,
