December 2016 The Herring Choker Pg.5 Kevin s Historical Tidbits In the past Christmas events at the chapter were purely social events as seen here in December 1996: Theme: Tis the Season Topic: The Mechanics of Non-Motorized Flight Presenter: S. Claus - North Pole Enterprises Dinner and Dance to follow In the early 2000 s these events became either dinner and a site tour (Moncton Airport Terminal or Majesta Diaper Plant for example) or dinner and a presentation (new LEED rating system or control valves & actuators). We have tried to keep any speakers to a neutral nontechnical topic so that the spouses are not bored to death. We did bring in a Sommelier one year for wine tastings. They continue to remain for the most part a casual non-technical night and are typically a past presidents and spouses night. 2017 ASHRAE Winter Conference Attendees Can Plan Interactively for 2017 Winter Conference Start planning your visit to the 2017 ASHRAE Winter Conference.
