TTHEHE PPRESIDENTRESIDENT’’SS MMESSAGEESSAGE
By Steve Keen
We are quickly approaching the end of
the 2010/2011 ASHRAE year. I want
to thank the Membership for allowing
me to serve and to also thank those
that have contributed their time and
money in support of the Arkansas
Chapter. Our chapter will be well
served by the slate of officers and
Board of Governors being brought to
the membership in April for
consideration and election. The
nominating committee,
chaired by Kim Koch,
includes Chris Ahne, Chance
Hollingsworth, Rick Sellers
and James Dayer. Look for
the ballot of proposed
officers and Board of
Governors in this newsletter.
In accordance with our by-
laws, a voice vote by the
majority of the members
present at the April meeting may elect
Nominees to respective positions, in
lieu of mailed paper ballots.
Our new officers and Board of
Governors are being elected prior to
the Region VIII Chapters Regional
Conference in Dallas, Texas. This
year’s CRC is April 14-16 at the DFW
Hyatt Regency. As mentioned in
previous newsletters the CRC is a
valuable resource to hone your skills
in conducting committee work and
going through the officer chairs. The
CRC is an excellent opportunity to
network with other regional chapter
members. We hope you will join us in
Dallas.
April will conclude our lunch
meetings. Dennis Stanke with Trane
and an ASHRAE Distinguished
Lecturer will provide an update on
ASHRAE’s Standard 62.1. Indoor air
quality standards can be a challenge
to implement, especially while trying
to lower our carbon footprint. Mike
McClellan will update the membership
on local and national government
impact on the HVAC industry.
We will finish up our year this spring
by honoring our Past Presidents with
an evening at the Repertory Theater.
In addition to the show, Chris Ahne is
planning a silent auction benefiting
ASHRAE Research. You will be able to
review the auction items before the
performance and during the
intermission. Look for details in the
Past Presidents evening
announcement.
If it’s spring, it must be time
for golf! We have two spring
golf outings intended for
fun and to raise money for
ASHARE Research. Central
Arkansas kicks off the
spring on May 13th at
Hurricane Golf Club. The
Northwest section follows on May
27th at Stonebridge in Fayetteville.
Please consider being a hole sponsor
or other opportunities to contribute to
ASHARE Research.
Arkansas ASHRAE gave back this year
to two outstanding students with
$1,500.00 scholarships to help with
their engineering studies. Daniel
McCaulley a student at Arkansas Tech
University in Russellville was
presented a check at the March
meeting. We also recognized several
students from Arkansas Tech
University at the March meeting.
Samuel Clark from the University of
Arkansas in Fayetteville was the
second student to receive this year’s
scholarship.
It is a busy spring. We have one more
continuing education event in April.
The ASHRAE Chapter Technology
Transfer Committee will present a
webcast “Putting the Earth to Work for
You”, April 21st from 1:00 PM till 4:00

COMPANION ACTIVITIES Thursday, Friday and Saturday
The Adventurer: If you’ve purchased the “Basic
Companion Package”, you will receive a ticket to
the Welcome Party (with 2 drink tickets) and a
choice of Friday or Saturday tours. This will
allow you to spend the rest of your time
exploring Grapevine. There is a Grapevine
Shuttle that will take you just about anywhere
worth going in Grapevine. Shuttle passes can be
purchased at the hotel front desk for $5/day and
shuttle schedules will be available at the
Conference Registration table.
We understand that not all of us travel with the
same purpose in mind. While some enjoy leaving
the planning up to those who are born organizers,
many of us like to venture out and make
discoveries on our own. If you enjoy “sitting back
and letting the action come to you,” we have
packaged activities just for you. Are you a card
carrying member of the Adventurer Club? There
are many opportunities in the surrounding area that
await your discovery.
The TOTAL COMPANION PACKAGE includes access to the Companion
Hospitality Lounge Thursday through Saturday
* Conference Early Registration
through March 13th
* Hotel discount rates through March 26th
FACEBOOK: Ashrae-Region-VIII-CRC
Tired? Is your daily life lacking excitement? The “Total Companion Package” may be just the thing for you. Light activities on Thursday allow you to rest up before the Welcome Party. Then it’s off-to-the-races with a tour of the Wine Tasting Rooms in Grapevine on Friday followed by an elegant lunch and a foot tour of eclectic downtown Grapevine on Saturday.
Overdue for a break?
Saturday Tour:
This tour is scheduled to depart at 11:30 am and return at 4:00 pm. It
includes a visit to the newly renovated Gaylord Texan featuring 4-1/2
acres of indoor gardens and winding waterways along with distinctive
shopping, dining and recreation options, the Grapevine European
Markets, an elegant lunch and lots of shopping. The tour culminates
with a visit to Grapevine Olive Oil Company’s tasting room, the
premier olive oil provider in the North Texas Area.
For those of you who prefer to attend the Awards luncheon, you may
still purchase a shuttle pass for the Grapevine Shuttle and catch up on
the shopping portion of the tour in the late afternoon. If you are
attending the Awards luncheon and did not indicate so with the online
registration, please send your request to [email protected]
and we will make sure to save you a seat.

Friday Tour:
The Grapevine Wine Tour is a “Grape”
escape from reality. You will be transported
from the hotel to three acclaimed wineries to
experience educational instruction, and be
guided through a sensory examination and
evaluation of wines by the winery hosts. A
Mediterranean lunch will be served during
the wine tasting at the second winery. The
wine tour experience will take approximately
4 hours and will allow you enough time to
return to the hotel and rest before the Friday
Night Dining begins at 6pm.
We are so honored to host the Companions that have supported ASHRAE functions throughout the years. If there is a request you have or need assistance in making your time with the Dallas Chapter more enjoyable, please let us know. Additionally, we have found the hotel staff and the business community to be amazing people most of whom live in the community they work in. If the CRC committee members aren’t sure how to accommodate you, we have extensive support in getting your needs met and questions answered. We look forward to seeing you in April!
Total Companion Registration:
As part of the registration, the Chef at the DFW Hyatt will be offering a demonstration along with culinary tips.
Check out our FACEBOOK Page for more updates on the COMPANION EXPERIENCE at CRC 2011.
