Due to various concerns of the 2009 CRG Board, there
was no CRG Winter Technical Meeting in 2010. However, the CRG Education
Committee did put on another successful Basics of Rubber Technology
Course in early March that was well attended and well received by the
course participants. I would like
to thank Ron Coia, and the rest of the CRG Education Committee who put
in countless hours of preparation for this course as well as the
speakers, tour guides and instructors for their contributions in
continuing the course’s success. As mid-year approaches, the CRG is gearing up for the
Spring Technical Meeting and the Golf Outings. We are always looking for new
ideas and other topics that will continue to make The Chicago Rubber
Group a vital tool for local companies in the rubber industry. It
is just as essential for the success of this rubber group to have as
much participation with the ideas of the membership as it is for the
membership to pay dues and attend the technical meetings. I am
urging our membership to email me with any ideas that they would like to
contribute to make this group even more successful. The Spring Technical Meeting will be held at the
Grand Geneva Resort and I am looking forward to seeing all of you on
Tuesday, May 11. In order to make the CRG Golf Outings more
successful, we will be putting on technical presentations prior to the
outings this year. The specific date for the CRG Wisconsin Outing
will be announcement shortly, but the CRG Chicago Outing will take place
on Thursday, July 22nd, and will once again be held at
Hilton’s Indian Lakes Resort in Bloomingdale, IL. Unfortunately we
are canceling the Central Illinois Rubber Group Golf Outing this year
but could possibly schedule it for the following year. I would also like to remind
everyone that the Chicago Rubber Group will be hosting the Fall Rubber
Division ACS Meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are looking for
additional volunteers to help support the success of this event.
Please contact Tim Day at
tim@chemrep.com if you are interested in contributing to this
effort. The ACS Rubber Division would also like to announce that
the new website for the individual rubber groups is now available.
