Just a quick note, we’ve posted a couple of documents to the members only page of the website. One concerning new 2010 HUD Rules 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 and elevator machine room inspections for 2010 and the other is an update regarding continuing education for the new year. If you’re a member and need a password to this section please send an e-mail to ceamail@flash.net and we’ll get you one.
If you plan on attending the January 7th meeting we’ll cover both of these documents.
We hope to see you next week, Thursday September 3rd, 2009 at Marcello’s as the Chicago Elevator Association kicks off its monthly meeting schedule again. Come for good food and drinks and learn about what’s going on in the elevator industry around the Chicagoland area. This will be a business meeting.

I received some sad news today from Peter Dolan. Charlie Dolan, Peter’s Grandfather, passed away on Monday February 15th. As feisty as Charlie was, I will remember him for his dedication to Atlas Elevator, our industry and to his family. It wasn’t more than 6-7 years ago when I stopped by Atlas Elevator and Charlie was at his drafting table working away. At the time, I admired his ability to want to continue working at his age and his desire to share his knowledge with others.
Please take a moment to sign his guest book. If you have a story you’d like to share about Charlie please share it in the guest book.
