Dear Fellow Members:

I know in our business you have to grab the handle while hot when it comes to work during the winter months. To help those members that were planning to enroll in a Winter Journeyman course this winter we have listed two tentative start dates to choose from. Please review the course offerings and tell us if you wish to start in January, 2008 or in September, 2008. Most certification courses offered run one night a week for 12 weeks and require a minimum of 10 students enrolled to start.

Once again I would like to thank all our members who continue to use our training facilities and make the time to update their skill sets allowing our contractors to be more competitive in our industry.

Fraternally yours,

James B. Kehoe
