September Chapter Newsletter
President's Report
Welcome Back!
We kicked off the 2026/2027 ASPE season with an ASPE AYP Event at Clubhouse on Main hosted by CT AYP liaison Tyler Rice on September 10 and from the feedback I have received it was well received and there will likely be future events there in the future.
We followed that up with our September Chapter meeting at our "Home Base" at Casa Mia on the Hill in Newington with a strong showing of 28 in attendance. Scott Andrew from Engineered Corrosion Solutions presented on the "Science of Corrosion and Corrosion Management for Fire Sprinkler Systems".
Just as we were starting to roll, Mother Nature stepped in and put a cramp on our plans as we unfortunately had to make the decision to postpone our Annual Cornhole Tournament. Please note that I did not say "cancel" as we have every intention to reschedule this event in the Spring of 2027. As of right now April 24th is looking like a strong contender for that date, so mark it as a placeholder on your calendars.
We will continue to schedule chapter meetings and events so keep checking your emails and the website for updates.
October 8-14 is the ASPE National Convention and EXPO and the CT Chapter will be sending (6) delegates to the business meeting. In speaking with other members of the chapter it appear that several other chapter members will be in attendance as well, so its exciting that CT will be well represented!
Lastly, as a reminder that we have early bird registration set for both your benefit and those planning our meetings. We need to have numbers to the restaurant for food to be prepared, so stop waiting until the last minute – Please.
As always if anyone has any questions, concerns, ideas or just wants to talk plumbing please feel free to reach out.
Regards,
