Greetings Capital Section Members:

           Welcome to the Illuminating Engineering Society District of Columbia Capital Section. The Officers and Board of Managers have begun planning for the year and hope to produce a schedule of events within the next month. We need some good ideas for Sectional Meetings. Please feel free to let any of your officers or board members know of any suggestions you might have.

The first event of the season will be the 6th annual golf outing, Monday, October 4, 2010 to benefit the Michael B. Klein Student Scholarship Fund. This year, we're at Cross Creek Country Club (the same course we played last year). The golfing begins at 8:30AM with a luncheon at 1:30 pm. We'll have door prizes, Mulligans, and a 50/50 drawing. Sponsorship opportunities and Foursome Registration is open. You can print and fax the attached registration form to Mike Larkin. See the flyer on the calendar of events page for more details.

The IES is sponsoring a national web cast regarding the Model Lighting Ordinance. The DC Section will participate in the Web Cast on Wednesday, October 13, 2010, 7 pm. Plan to attend. Location for this meeting is in the works, check the calendar of events.

We are also planning a Fundamentals of Lighting course for Friday, October 22, 2010 at the Lutron Center in Downtown Washington. It is an all day event, including lunch. Dan Zuczek is heading up this event and the cost is $250 for members. See the flyer on the calendar of events page.

Finally, we thank all of the past officers for their years of service. In particular, we offer a special thanks to Dick Schwab and Sue Noble for their many years of service to the Section. And we want to welcome Erin Speck as our newest Board Member.
