Thanks to all who attended October’s tour of EMS in Hamburg. The tour was great and I think everyone learned something about roll bonding. We are extremely gracious to our hosts for the evening. Afterwards, talk was lively as we enjoyed “Yuengs and Wings” at the Westy while the Phillies began their trek to the World Series.

On November 13th we will be having our annual Young Members Night event at Starter’s Riverport facility at the former Bethworks. Student Materials Advantage members will enjoy their meals free this year. We will be awarding this year’s Outstanding Young Member award as well as judging the Lehigh University undergraduate reverse engineering posters. This meeting is a prime opportunity for the future of the society to interact with the current members and an excellent networking opportunity. Students - Starter’s is a short walk from campus and the meal is free if you are a Materials Advantage member so there is really no excuse for you to not show up!

We have begun contacting companies for our 2009 Eastern Pennsylvania materials expo to be held October 8th, 2009. If think your company would like to exhibit, please contact any of the executive committee members.

Be sure to come out and support our chapter’s young members – the future of our society.

Take care,
“Bad” Ryan
