President’s Message

I can’t believe that the year is over already! It has been my honor and privilege to serve as your Chapter President this year. My thanks to all Members and friends who have supported the Chapter by attending the monthly meetings and other events. I am indebted to all of this year’s officers, chairs and board members who made my job pretty easy.   I’d also like to thank those of you who supported and encouraged me personally during the year.  Your words and gestures meant a lot to me.

We enjoyed a great slate of dinner programs this past year, capped off the Golf Outing last week. My thanks to everyone who helped out and participated in the outing, especially Dan Mello and Cory Lock for overseeing the whole thing. The technical tour at Mohegan Sun in May was also well attended. I’d like to again thank Joe Mayo and Tri-State for arranging the tour and sponsoring a substantial portion of the cost of the dinner. We also were pleased to have a large group travel to the ARI Trade show in New York City this past January.

With the ups, there were some downs as well. We were saddened by the loss of two presidential members of our Chapter, Mark Hagan and Spence Martin. Although they will both be missed, we have been encouraged by their legacy of dedication to our Society and our industry.

Thank you all again for a great year. Have a fun and safe summer, and we’ll see you in September.

Thank you.

Walter M. Janus, PE

Anthracite Chapter President

P.S. Board members please note that from now on the board meeting we will start at 5:00 pm instead of 4:30.
