With the passing of
Halloween,
the
holiday season is in
full swing. Any of you
out there who went
trick or treating this
year
experienced
some extreme high
temperatures. The
thermometer was
close to 70 when I
returned home with
my daughter after
going door to door for the better part of 2 hours. Of
course, the following weekend we were back down in
the 20s and 30s-so back on track.
As we move forward toward our second
annual Engineer’s Day in November the temperatures
will continue to drop. I urge you all to double check
those smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as they
may very well save your lives in an emergency. At the
very least, it will prevent them from waking you up in
the middle of the night with that infernal low battery
beeping! Check out this link to the CDC’s website
discussing how to prepare for cold weather.

Coming up in November we have a lot
planned: the Second Annual Engineer’s Day
conference, the joint meeting with VT in White River
Jct., the volunteer outing at New Horizons, then
breakfast with the commissioner in December. I hope
to see as many of you as possible at our events, if not
for the PDHs then for the excellent networking
opportunity. Please take a look at our upcoming
Events Page in this publication for future events and
sponsorship opportunities.
If you are interested in becoming more
involved with ASCE we are always on the lookout for
fresh ideas and new faces at the board meetings. We
will be looking to finalize the 2020-2021 ballot within
the next few months, so please consider throwing
your hat in the race for one of the many potential
board positions. For more information on the board
positions and committees check out our web site or
ask one of the current board members at the next
meeting.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
The season of giving is not just about presents
This time of year
it’s easy to get caught up in
the consumer race to the
store to try and find that
perfect gift. Whether it be
for a child, a significant
other, or a parent, we all
want to see that expression
on someone’s face when
they open our gift and feel
pure joy! But lets all take a
couple minutes and think
about how we can help
those
less
fortunate,
whether you choose to
donate your time, money or
gifts, we all have something
to give. Please get out and help your fellow man this
year, and remember children are never too young to
start helping others. Finding the right volunteer
opportunity for you is as simple as typing it into
Google. Here is a link to the city of Manchester’s
volunteer opportunities page for your convenience.
