Greetings CARE Members
        From:  Joel Owen CARE President

In the mist of economic down turns and budget cuts, we find that one of the most important item cut is "training". It puts more pressure on us as educators to sell our product, its good for the economy, it's good for our environment.

Your CARE Board has been hard at work this year to provide you with resources to assist you and I hope you are taking advantage of these resources; CARE blog, new and improved news letter, free and discounted online training and a free Train the Trainer on Residential Mechanical Ventilation to be conducted at the 2010 Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Plumbing Instructors Workshop.

If you have any ideas or resources that you would like to share let's us hear from you, the more the better. This is your council!

In addition if you would like to assist with content of the blog please contact Suzie Sands at 
care@carehvacr.org.

We are looking for interested parties that would like to be a part of the leadership of CARE, if you have an interest let us know, we would like to talk with you.

The future of CARE depends on it's members stepping up to the plate. 

                            Thanks,
                                Joel
