President's Message – January 2012
Greetings to the 2011-2012 Orange County Chapter members of the
American Society of Safety Engineers
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The OCASSE 2011-2012 board is looking forward to serving you this New Year! We are meeting this January, half way through our year, to check on our progress. Are we meeting the goals you set for us?
As you may be aware, we have created a Student Section for the chapter! The students have really stepped up! They collected canned food for the Holiday Fund raiser and for the first time participated in festivities. David Balderas was on hand to receive the Fall Student Scholarship Award!
If you attended the Holiday Fundraiser, I think you will agree we had a very fun and successful event. We acknowledged the OCASSE members who had reached the 25 year mark as a member of the American Society of Safety Engineer’s. On hand to receive their plaques were, Bob Howarth, Cynthia Paulo and James Vita. James also provided some wonderful background music as he is an accomplished musician. Dave Hagan and Harry Hendrick also received plaques but were unable to attend.
THANKS to all who brought along something for the raffle. You helped make the Orange County American Society of Safety Engineers Holiday Fundraiser a success by donating. In the past several years the OCASSE has raised thousands of dollars from the generous donations given by our member’s employers, we in turn support local charity agencies, including Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, American Red Cross, local food banks, several local hospitals that cater to children wellness programs and other charitable organizations our members are passionate about.
We raffled the donated gifts and your participation in this event was well received by all in attendance! We raised more money than we have in a long time, your generosity will be given to the American Red Cross and the Orange County Food Bank.
Thank you again for your support of the environmental, safety, and health professions and the Orange County Chapter of the American Society of Safety Engineers.
Mark the date… March 14th, this year we are presenting a different kind of PDC! We will be offering workshops on Fall Protection, Accident Investigation, Root Cause Analysis, and Machine Safety. Watch for more information to come soon.
Peace
President OCASSE 2011-2012
