B y the time you read this the Awards Dinner will have already taken place. I am sure it was an awesome event with lots of fun and entertainment. The theme “Havana Nights” is great and the committee is made up of some very motivated people. Working with our excellent staff, they have put in a lot of time and effort to make it a success. Congratulations to all the well-deserved winners! Speaking of committees, I have been making my rounds attending a meeting of each of the committees and I am so impressed. Every one of the committee members is so motivated and they all have such great ideas. Be it for legislative

action, education, membership growth or networking every one of them puts in a lot of time and effort to make our chapter what it is. With respect to efforts by our com- mittees, this month’s article on electron- ic voting by Jonathan H. Katz is an excellent read and highlights just that. The Radburn bill is only in the form that

we all know it because of all the hard work put in by our LAC. If it were not for their efforts, it may have turned out very different. LAC has the ability to get this done through the efforts of PAC and the donations we make. So, I urge all of you to please donate to PAC, it really can make a difference to all of us. Another very interesting read is the article on future trends for pest control by Randy Vogel. I had absolutely no idea that dealing with pests had moved into the modern era using “smart” technology and GPS trackers to make it more efficient for everyone and humane for the trapped animals. How fascinating. Then there is the article by David Ross on advancement in snow clearing. I can totally understand how the unpredictability of the weather can cause such a problem for them. Meteorology is one field where you can consistently get it wrong and still keep your job. Last but definitely not least is the article on improvements for fire protection by Ray Venturino. A very interesting read that shows how recent advancements in technolo- gy can definitely save lives. I will most certainly look into some of those for myself. Happy reading everyone! n
