What's New

Rubber Roller Group Members-

I wanted to write to update everyone on what we as a board have been doing since our meeting in Orlando. First, we have a "new" Parliamentarian joining us on the board. She will be taking Rhoda Bruners' place on the board due to Rhoda leaving the industry. Jennifer McKinsey is a 10 year employee of LORD Corp. She is currently the Industrial Chemlok and Specialty Chemicals account manager. Jennifer is a graduate of University of Pittsburg. Welcome aboard Jennifer! Secondly, the board has been "meeting" via conference call on a monthly basis. We feel like this allows us to stay ahead of things that involve the group. Making this group stronger and more useful to members is our ultimate goal. We are constantly soliciting feedback from our membership. Please contact any of us at any time with your thoughts and ideas on how to add value to our group.

I am also happy to announce that we have chosen a location and site for our 2010 Annual Technical Meeting. Our 2010 meeting will be May 2nd-4th at Lumière Place in St Louis. Robbi has worked very hard to gather quotes and info from hotels in the St Louis area. After narrowing it down to two, I visited both properties and met with management. I felt Lumière seemed to fit our group best. It is a very modern hotel with a large atrium area, perfect for our Sunday reception. Meeting facilities are very nice and up to date. The rooms are wonderful, all suites, with a separate sitting area and 2 flat screen TV's . There are numerous restaurants and shops, even a 75,000 sq. ft. Casino attached via enclosed walkway. Lumière Place is also within walking distance of Laclede's Landing and the Arch. I am excited about our 2010meeting!! I look forward to seeing everyone soon.
