February 2011 Meeting Set – Angello’s Elmhurst

ceaonline CEA Meetings

Mark your calendars! Next week, February 3rd, 2011 is our next Chicago Elevator Association meeting. Please join us at Angelo’s in Elmhurst.  In addition to the short business meeting we’ve also got GAL coming in to present on their products. 

In some serious news over the weekend, a toddler was critically injured when he fell down an elevator shaft at what looks to be a rundown hotel in Joliet.  This was a scary accident which sounds as if there was a pretty large gap between the hoistway door and the elevator gate. While the details at this point are a little sketchy we hope that anyone who has more information would share it at the meeting or with me to share with our members.  http://www.wgntv.com/news/wgntv-toddler-falls-30-feet-jan24,0,7966724.story?track=rss

Also CEA Contractor member Colley Elevator is going to be hosting a QEI certification training program 4/11 – 4/16 Monday through Friday 5pm  – 9pm with the test on Saturday for $1130.00. For those who are interested in obtaining QEI Certifification please contact Craig Zomchek at 630-766-7230.

Educational Session – Tentative Scheduled for First Week In May – 2011

The Chicago Elevator Association is planning to again hold a continuing education program in May as we have in the past.  The general question for you that we need help with is determining how many hours we should hold the class. While the state of Illinois requires 2 hours, many of you need the .8 Continuing Educational Units to complete your QEI recertification. It would be helpful to figure out if you would prefer a shorter educational program of perhaps half a day or if you’d like a full day we’d love to hear from you.  

We hope to see you on Thursday night! Drive safely, keep warm and think Spring!

Sincerely,

Tom Sybert -(President)
Kevin Ryan-(Vice President)
Tom Przybyla-(Sec/Treasurer)
