Dear Members,

I would like to welcome all of you back from a beautiful summer.  I hope this edition finds everyone in good health. I also hope everyone had nice vacations, whether you went away, or just took some time off and stayed locally. It’s amazing how much there is to do on Long Island.  If only we could find a way to make our summers last as long as our winters last, life would be great!

Here’s an old cliché: “Time goes on, but not too much changes.”   I was visiting some of our past September president reports. They covered gas and oil prices, the local economy, and the last hurricane that hit New Orleans. As I am writing this message, the weather channels are predicting one of the biggest hurricanes in history to hit that area. Our thoughts and prayers should be with the residents in the area that is hit.

Our presentation for September is on pools and will be giving by Ron Linsalato, Electrical Inspector from the Town of Southampton. The majority of our meetings this year will be giving by inspectors or instructors on electrical issues that pertain to our livelihood. Your input is very important to your Association, so any and all ideas are welcome.

Again welcome back from our summer break; we encourage you to attend all of our General Meetings on the Third Thursday of every month, at the Holiday Inn on Vets Highway in Ronkonkoma.

On a sad note I wanted to send condolences out to the Surdi family on the passing of Hugo Surdi. 

Best regards,

Jack Morrell
SCECA President
