Chairman' Message
Greetings,
Hello,
If you missed our last meeting you truly missed a good evening. Russell Oleslager did a informative talk on NDT on aluminum vessels that is done for air products in their shop in Wilkes-Barre and the remote facility inside the old steel mill in Fairless hills. The meal preceding the meeting was a choice between veal and shrimp, both very tasty, Lehman's is a great spot for our meetings.
Before this meeting several of our members toured the newly opened welding school at Delaware County Community College with Patrick Dougherty from the school. it is a nicely laid out clean new school that is very reasonable if anyone is interested call 610-723-4000 for info and registration.
See you at a meeting,
Gary Atherton
Chairman Philadelphia Section AWS

STUDENT CORNER
The Out of the Darkness Walk
The SkillsUSA students at Gloucester County Institute of Technology (GCIT) are hosting a walk for suicide awareness. They are working with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Out of the Darkness Walk will be held at GCIT on Sunday October 25th. I am putting together a team called Roskiewich's Welders and would like to know if anyone would like to participate. If you go to are schools web site www.gcit.org and click on the Out of Darkness I con you can get more information about this walk.
All the money raised will stay in the south Jersey area. So if you are interested please make a donation to Roskiewich"s Welders team. Maybe your employer would like to make a donation.
The students who started this walk were recognized by the Gloucester County Freeholders at a recent Freeholders meeting. They are planning on making this an annual event. Let me know if you need more information and when I see you I will let you know how and why the kids are doing this.
Thanks,
Dan
