Diane Knies mentioned that the Chapter usually donates $200 to the IEHA for the Fall Conference.

This will help provide information to members about what is working or not working around the state, and to aid in the sharing of information. Please e-mail John Kennard (jkennard3@yahoo.com) with comments to the following questions: Does your county charge septic contractors a registration fee? For how long is this registration good? Must they follow any specific requirements? (for example, must they be bonded?) Do you have a penalty for bad contractors? Vivie Dunn suggested that our Chapter retain the same officers for next year. Pat Fowler made a motion to that effect which was seconded by Vivie Dunn. The motion passed and all officers agreed to serve another year. Chapter Secretary Tracy Monroe (Harrison County) sent a card on August 18 to Lee Bray (ISDH), who is battling liver cancer.
