MANSFIELD SECTION COMMITTEE News s2

Greetings again Mansfield Quality Pro's,

Apologies again for the late newsletter.

Brrrrrrrr!!!!! Shorter colder days, football, and Fall harvest. We are here!

And our October Mansfield ASQ meeting is as soon as possible. . . . .This Thursday, October 8th!

Another fine meeting has been planned for you. The October meeting is at the Lexington Senior Center. Our speaker is Jim Spichiger. Jim works in Newark, Ohio and is very active in ASQ on a national basis. He has great experience in many areas of ASQ that he can share with us. And aligning with China's Harvest Festival, we will be getting the meal brought in from Happy House, a Chinese restaurant 2 blocks from the Senior Civic Center. So this Thursday(Oct. 8) should be a fine evening of fellowship, food, and an education on ASQ and Professional Certifications. Come join us!

Per our Certification Chair, Janice, the last day to register for any exams given on December 5th is October 16th.

As always, if you know of any local Quality job opportunities or any Mansfield ASQ members who have changed their email address recently, please reply to let me know. I want to share job op's and keep our email distribution list current.

Dress warmly.

Best regards,

Joe
