A MESSAGE FROM YOUR NOH CHAPTER PRESIDENT
January 2012

Hello Fellow ASSE Members,

I was glad to see that attendance was up at our last chapter meeting. For those of you in attendance, I am sure that you enjoyed the guest speaker Richard Lussier from Toto. He gave a very informative presentation of the history of water usage in plumbing fixtures. It really sparked discussion about how important water conservation is and the effects on the drainage systems. A problem all of us have had to deal with in one way or another. I encourage everyone to attend these meetings because I for one never leave one of these meeting without learning something new or gaining a new prospective on some area of the plumbing Industry.

Rich Prospal also presented some information about World Plumbing Day coming up shortly on March 11th. I encourage all of you to look at this link: www.worldplumbingday.org. Help us recognize and celebrate the importance of the Plumbing Industry on this day. The general public has for far too long taken our country’s Plumbers for granted which is easy to do. Think about it, every morning you wake up and are able to brush your teeth, shower and make a cup of coffee all without fear of contracting some sort of illness because of the clean potable water provided to every home and business. The only time you hear of poor water quality being an issue is when someone gets sick because of the breakdown of some part of the Plumbing system. What World Plumbing Day can be for all of us is a day that can remind people how important plumbing is to everyone’s life without the negative reports.

I hope to see all of you fellow ASSE members at our next chapter meeting and start to get involved in the plumbing Industry that has helped to provide not only health for the nation, but a good living for everyone of us.

Jason Shank
President of the Northern Ohio Chapter of ASSE
