Message From The President
                              
Dave NanceApril showers bring?...
The start of baseball season!
The last day to file taxes is on April 15th.  Do you have your personal taxes in order and ready to be filed?  Maybe you are already finished.
Did I mention showers?  Do you have an ample supply of sump pumps?  Last year we needed very few; the year before we could not keep enough in stock.  What will this year bring?
  
The GIPHCC lunch meeting will be at Primos on the 17th.  This is our annual business meeting and a good opportunity to network as attendance should be high.  At the meeting we will be saying goodbye to the outgoing board members and hello to the incoming board members.  In addition, we will be presenting the Contractor of the Year award to a very deserving person.
  
Don't forget the annual GIPHCC golf outing on May 16th.  Get your foursomes together and send in your reservations today!
Remember, when you are in the supply house or a sales rep is at your office to please thank them for their support of the golf outing and all things PHCC!
  
April 17th at Primo's South!  I will see you there!                                
 
 
Dave Nance,
President, GIPHCC

PHCC Educational Foundation Scholarships 

Applications are now being accepted for scholarships awarded through the PHCC National Association.  These scholarships are generally targeted at students pursuing a course of study directly related to the plumbing-heating-cooling industry.  Select awards are limited to students enrolled in a plumbing or HVACR apprentice program; while others are reserved for students studying in a community college, trade school or an undergraduate degree program at a 4 year college.  For complete information and application forms, students can visit www.phccfoundation.org(http://www.phccfoundation.org) or call the PHCC Educational Foundation at (800) 533-7694.  Applications and supporting materials are due no later than May 1, 2013.  

 

Bookkeeping Issues  

After 2 very well attended meetings in January and February, the March meeting attendance was low.  Plus, 9 people who originally signed up to attend didn't show up.  We don't often remind members that you're expected to pay for the luncheon if you don't cancel your reservation in a timely fashion.  That has been our long standing policy.  There was a great deal of food left over.

2012 Goal: Reality
We don't want to rest on our laurels.  Last year we met and exceeded our goal of 5 new associate members and 5 new contractor members, and we should pat ourselves on the back for this effort.  However, in the light of 2013, out of our associate list, we lost 8 members.  Reality:  14 adds, 8 losses = 6 actual adds.  We must remain ever vigilant in our effort to attract new members.
We adhere to the KISS philosophy (Keep It Simple, Stupid).  Red name tags for prospective new members at meetings, information booklets, greeters, and the first free lunch.
