A MESSAGE FROM YOUR NOH CHAPTER PRESIDENT
August 2010

The annual ASSE/ASPE Golf Outing at Fowlers Mill Golf Club was a great success, as always. I want to thank all of our sponsors who contributed. Special thanks to EPS Supply for sponsoring their two foursomes.

ASSE's Scald Awareness Task Force is working on completing the task that was assigned to them by President Ron Murray. Rich Prospal's volunteer group, consisting of a cross section of the industry's plumbing related professionals, have made tremendous strides, gathering much information on this important subject, which will be published as a "White Paper". This Task Force is investigating the relationship between Low Flow (2.5 GPM or less) Shower Heads when used with Non-Automatic Compensating Shower/Tub Shower Valves. We anxiously await the final document to be approved by the ASSE Board of Directors for distribution to the general public for prevention of Scalding and Thermal Shock.

Soon we will be heading to Las Vegas for our Annual Meeting. President Murray and his committee are working hard to make this a special event. Costs have been reduced and an expanded manufacturer's show has been promised. The Edward Zimmer Course, alone, is worth the trip. It is always excellent! I hope that all members of our Northern Ohio Chapter, who can, will consider attending. A full compliment of topics and speakers are being assembled for the Zimmer Course session. I hope to see all of you there.

By the way, don't forget to vote for the new officers for the 2011-2012 term, and also make sure you attend the Annual ASPE/ASSE Clambake on September 8th at the Cleveland Yachting Club, where we will present our first "NOHPE" award Trophy to some lucky recipient.

Patrick ‘Pat’ Sugrue
NOH Chapter President
