Are you heading for a Fall...or a New Start?
  
Greetings!

The Autumnal Equinox  is now past (September 23, 3:09 a.m. GMT) and we are officially in a new season. And yes, I'm an astronomy nerd. The new Southwest Region website http://southwest.csinet.org, is building up new material on a regular basis. It is now where our primary information and local news resides.
 
CSI is branching out in so many ways to its members, even while the general construction economy remains lackluster at best. Are you taking advantage of the many networking and learning opportunities offered by CSI, or are you just hunkered down for the fall? I hope you are reaching out to stay in touch with your fellow CSI members, and getting ready for your return to success.
 
Sincerely,
 
Dave Bishton
Editor, Southwest Breezes
