Club meeting of October 15

The meeting was called to order by club president, Tom Craig. Guests were recognized and included Ryan Cornell and Josh Watson from B&W. Tom reminded club members our Reverse Raffle & Silent Auction is closing in-we will need to know committed tickets for a head count for the event. The silent auction basket assembly party will be held on Tuesday, October 27 at 7 at the Lake Anna Y in Jim Sawin's office.

 

Our speakers were Ryan Cornell, Public Relations and Media at B&W and Josh Watson, Boiler Process Engineer. Ryan and Josh shared some of the history of B& W in Barberton as well as what new and exciting projects in which the company is involved. They spoke of the Waste Energy Facility that opened in June of this year in Palm Beach Florida. The facility is built, designed and operated by B&W. It generates electricity for 40k holmes, and has reduced the land fill volume by 90%. The plant is one of 89 operating in the US. A considerable amount of the design & engineering work was done in Barberton.
