December Breakfast Meeting
Hey,
We had a great showing of younger members at the December breakfast meeting! The NHDOT commissioner, George Campbell, Jr. was the presenter and he talked about all the great projects that the DOT have been working on this past year and what they have for upcoming work. He thanked all of the innovative work done by the civil engineering community that have been making his projects come in on time and under budget. He also noted the importance of creating strong legislative relationships with all the new politicians coming into office this year. All in all, i think it was an informative meeting and a great way to steal some of the commissioner's time.
There were quite a few younger members there (we had a mostly younger member table going on!) and after the meeting, I tried to grab as many as I could to take a picture with the commissioner before he left. Lovely photo opportunity - I had to take it with my phone so the quality isn't awesome and there is a little red-eye issue- but I'm glad that we could all get together for a picture!
Hopefully we continue to see this kind involvement in 2011!

December Social Hour
OK, since Logan has been doing everything for the YM's lately, I figure I should take a stab at this. We had our monthly social hour last night at Milly's in Manchester. We had one new face last night, Jeff (sorry I didn't catch your last name), who works with Logan. It's nice to see that we are slowly expanding while maintaining our core participants at these gatherings. It's not that we aren't trying to expand, last nights social was well advertised via a mass email to all NHASCE YM's, compliments to Logan for spreading the word, we just aren't seeing major growth yet. We talked about the upcoming ERYMC in Portland and it sounds like we will have a pretty good showing. Tomorrow's Holiday Breakfast at The Red Blazer in Concord should also be well attended by the YM's. Maybe another opportunity for some sweet group pictures, this time everyone should look a little more spiffy in their best holiday sweaters!
A new idea was presented to the group and I think it could be a cool way for the YM's to expand while also providing a little insight into how our respective companies operate and feel. Since all those in attendance work in Manchester, basically within 1 mile of each other, we are going to start eating lunch together on the last Thursday of every month at one of the YM's office. This gives us an excuse to meet up one more time a month to keep momentum rolling and perhaps recruit some other YM's from each others offices that haven't been able to come to a social hour. The first monthly lunch will be held on January 27 and will be hosted by Kleinfelder-SEA on Wall Street.
Well that's it for now, see you guys at breakfast!

P.S. It was apparent that the beverage prices increased while service decreased at Milly's last night, perhaps a new watering hole will be in store for January's social!

Whats Coming Up?
Hey,
I was going to give an update on the November Member Meeting that happened November 16, 2010 - but unfortunately I could not attend.
We have a Happy Hour coming up on Tuesday, December 7, 2010 at Milly's. Look for the announcement coming out via email soon.
I am also planning on attending the December Breakfast meeting on December 9, 2010. The last day to sign up for the event is this Friday, December 3. The NHDOT Commissioner is the presenter and I think it will be a pretty good meeting that is well attended. Click Here for more info on the December Meeting. I will send out an update on how the meeting goes!
