TIME: 7 PM – DINNER
RSVP at left
Kit asked that I set up some way to find out how many folks will be attending for dinner. The best I can do is the POLL in the column at left. If you plan to attend, select the "Yes" radio button and the click the VOTE button. If you won't be able to attend, please vote "No". SPEAKERS:
- Jerry Halpin of CET FIRE PUMPS will be talking about the value of a PORTABLE FIRE PUMP and why it is effective in fighting many of the fires encountered today with reduced manpower usage, cost and simplicity of repair. It works with today’s budgets.
- Gary Margerum of HARRISON HYDRAULIC GENERATORS will have his demo truck to display their different units and will do a short slide show on them.
