Greetings! 
 

Earlier this week we had a chance to witness a fabulous celestial event - a total lunar eclipse occurring on the winter solstice. Did you stay up to enjoy it or did you let it pass by silently overhead?  It was a truly memorable  sight.

 

This December, are you thinking more about the end of a tough year, or about the possibilities of  the year to come? CSI has a lot in store for you. Check out the activities of your local Chapter, the SW Region, and

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

 

It is hard to believe that another year is coming to a close.  For most of us, we can probably file this past year under the category of "Yuck!"  Unemployment, low profits (if any), and slim construction activity seem to be the theme for the AEC industry in 2010.

 

However, somewhere in between the lost jobs, lost profit, and lost projects, there can always be found a few bright moments of joy, happiness, and enlightenment.  Remember those brief wonderful times during this holiday season, and let them be the source of revitalized energy and hope as we move forward into 2011.

 

On behalf of the Southwest Region, I wish everyone and their families a wonderful Christmas and a better-than-expected, oh, and happy, New Year!
