Fall Golf Tournament Cancelled
Below are the events that we were currently up against for the 19th. In 2008, we were 92% full by two weeks out. This spring we were 77% full by that time period. The tournament was not filling up so we have cancelled the event.
Third Quarter Meeting
Congratulations go out to Mr. Bob Arnold, Mr. Duane Higgins, and Mr. Curt Spurgeon. They were the winners of the meetings' door prize drawings.
We only had a couple of comment notes returned after the meeting. We appreciate any input that you may have to make the WSSC a better organization! What kind of information or program will help you or your company? Safety training, safety product information and updates, and new regulations and legislation are a few of the things that the WSSC would like to provide the oil and gas industry contractors in the area. Please, let us know where your areas of need or concern is and we'll do our best to address those issues.
Thanks for help and support!
