PERSPECT IVESection S-71 Covering Eastern North CarolinaNewsletter of the Society of Plastics Engineers, Piedmont-Coastal Section, North Carolina
Promoting the Scientific & Engineering Knowledge of Plastics
Volume XVI No.6Feb 2017 A few SPEcial Words from our President
RSVP by Feb 2 toMaury Balik
I was not able to attend the January meeting however I heard that it was a fantastic event and would like to include the following information provided by Rodney Joslin:We started the New Year off with a tour of Richard Childress Racing. We have been to RCR before however this is the first time that we toured the museum. It was scheduled to be a self-guided tour of the museum however upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to find out we had a guided tour led by Danny “Chocolate” Myers. Chocolate is well known for his daily radio show on Sirius/XM NASCAR radio and he is the current curator of the RCR Museum. He was also the gas man on six of the RCR NASCAR Championship teams with Dale Earnhardt as driver. Chocolate provided a lot of inside information and details that may not have been known without him as our guide. After the tour of the museum we proceeded over to the RCR Cup Shop with Chocolate continuing as our guide. It proved to be a much different experience than any of our previous visits to RCR. After the tour we enjoyed a fantastic meal at Tricia’s in Lexington, NC. We unfor-tunately had a small group mostly due to the inclement weather received two days earlier but I believe everyone who attended really enjoyed the evening. On February 7th we will be holding our yearly Education Night meeting at NC State University. This is always an enjoyable time as we hand out the funds to the different educational facilities that we support. We will tour the NC State Library which is an amazing building with a lot of interesting areas including a ro-bot which retrieves the requested books. We are currently working on the details for the main presentation which will be made by a student or students from NC State University. The Board of Directors will be meeting at 4pm, dinner is planned for 6:30pm, and the awards and program will begin at 7:30pm. If you have not been to Education Night in the past I highly recommend that you try to attend this year. NC State has a great campus, the food is fantastic, and it is fulfilling to see the students participating as they begin their journey in the plastics industry. Please see page 3 for directions and a map, page 12 for the other details and don’t forget to RSVP to Maury Balik by Feb 2nd for dinner reservations at [email protected]. We are currently working on the March meeting and will have all of the details in next month’s newsletter. Best Regards, Leon Suttles, President Piedmont-Coastal S71 SPE
