Last Day for Red and Green Scene Tickets Online!! Please register ASAP!

Marsha Moore Harding - noemail@csiatlanta.org — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:15:00 GMT

Hello,

Today is the last day to buy your Red and Green Scene Holiday Party tickets online. After that, they are only available at the door --- and the price goes up to $55/each ticket. Please take a moment to get you --- and all your friends --- tickets TODAY!

Opera is an excellent venue for a party. There will be lots of great people, food and beverages. Your entry ticket includes two drink tickets followed by a third ticket if you wear red or green!

CSI Atlanta is the host organization that is coordinating the Toys-For-Tots campaign. This year, toys are in shorter supply than demand so I encourage you to support giving toys or a monetary donation right now. If you are unable to attend and bring a toy - or simply want to make a cash donation for toys, you can do that through our website or by check. We will make sure to get any funds donated to the Marines.

To make a credit card payment, please go to

http://www.csiatlanta.org/en/py.

Follow the payment steps and make sure to include a note in the Comment: box that says it is for Toys-For-Tots 2011.

You can choose to go through Paypal - or check the options that lead you to making a payment without signing in to Paypal (there are two different screens that have those options. I found it easier to do while being logged out of the website at the time of making the credit card payment). Also, you can send a check to CSI Atlanta, PO Box 52678, Atlanta, GA 30355 made out to CSI Atlanta with a note on the memo line: Toys-For-Tots 2011.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,

Sponsorship Opportunities for CSI Atlanta

Marsha Moore Harding - noemail@csiatlanta.org — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:16:06 GMT

Hello [firstname],

I am the immediate past president for CSI Atlanta and work on the chapter sponsorship opportunities. Have you considered being a CSI Atlanta chapter sponsor? The diffirent types can be found on the website at:

http://www.csiatlanta.org/sponsor/.

We haven't made this years sponsor banner but plan to do that over the holidays and it will be presented at our next meetings. As it is a new thing for us, we are going to include all our sponsor types for the first banner.

Also, all sponsorships to our multi-association holiday party called Red and Green Scene Holiday Party next week include a website banner ad at www.csiatlanta.org for the next year. The cut-off date for being included on the signage at the event is this Friday and everything can be done online at:

http://redandgreensponsorship.eventbrite.com/

(I would need a high resolution logo file asap to get the changes incorporated for the signage).

Just in summary, a couple of suggestions for your company (professional services or product representation) would be:

- a Gold sponsorship of CSI Atlanta (cost $700) and includes a Division Night Tabletop ($125 cost), Listing on the yearly Sustaining Member Banner(not available separately), Website Banner ad ($300), Newsletter Business Card Ad ($250). (As we are still looking for an editor for The Atlanta Format, our newsletter is limited to our email communication. We will now list our chapter sponsors on these e-blasts in lieu of the newsletter business card like the listing below.)

- a Bronze sponsorship for the Red and Green Scene Holiday Party (cost $500) including two tickets to the Holiday party next week ($80-$110) with signage and media blitz until the event with continued exposure during the Spring community outreach project with the Boys and Girls Club organization. CSI Atlanta has also sweetened the deal by adding a CSI Atlanta website banner ad with the support of the party.

Please let me know what you think. We sure would appreciate your support!

Best Regards,

Marsha

Presidents Message - October 25, 2011

Brent Edward Redmon - noemail@csiatlanta.org — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 15:00:00 GMT

ALL

October has been a very active and busy month.

MetalCon was in town and put on a verty good show. Kenny McMann and hsi group ATAS International were there as one of the main sponsors along with several others from our group. Karen Fravert of Glidden stopped by the office and coordinated with me some potentially exciting Educational oppertunities for us going into next year. Keep your eyes open. Chip O'Rear has also been busy getting the kinks worked out of his Certification Program. All of those details are available on the website.

It is time to register for the November Meeting Events on the website as well. A presentation from ATAS on green metal roofs and wall systems will be the Technical Program. Our next Division Nights event will be part of the evening, highlighting Divisions 07, 13, and 48 from MasterFormat. Our dinner speaker will be Mr. Gary Summerlin from Hartsfield - Jackson Airport to discuss the International Terminal. Get signed up now and bring a guest. This is our last event before the holidays, so lets fill that room up!

Speaking of the Holidays, I hope you are keeping the date open fot the Red and Green Scene Holiday Party at Opera Nightclub. It is going to be a very engaging event and is very well organized. Please come!

If you are intrested in sponsoring the Red and Green Scene Party, let us know. We would love to put you name out there as not only a sponsor from CSI, but also connected to the other six organizations we are in partnership with for this event.

Happy Halloween and we will see you on November 7th at the Crown Plaza!

Obama Finds Insulation Sexy Polyiso Manufacturers Concur

noemail@csiatlanta.org — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:00:00 GMT

By Mittie Rooney Bethesda, MD, December 16, 2009 – In a speech on Tuesday, President Barack Obama urged Congress to provide retrofit funding to building and home owners to improve energy efficiency in buildings by replacing doors, roofing, and adding more insulation. The President even said the idea may not be very glamorous, but he finds insulation sexy. Mr. Obama also said the current lack of efficiency in most homes and buildings is the equivalent of watching $20 bills just, sort of, floating though the window up into the atmosphere. “As the President so eloquently says, insulation is one of the most important components in a building when it comes to reducing energy costs and decreasing carbon footprint,” said Jared Blum, President of the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA). “In fact, much of the existing building stock which still has thirty, forty or more years of service life could be vastly improved over that long term , if...

Ronald Schwartz a Candidate for Southeast Region Institute Director

noemail@csiatlanta.org — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Dear Southeast Region Members: I came to Florida in 1970, recruited as a manager of a new division marketing doors, frames and hardware. Realizing I knew nothing about the South Florida construction market place, I looked for an organization that would afford me contacts. The first organization I joined was the Fort Lauderdale Chapter of CSI. Not only did I make contacts with specifying architects, I learned a tremendous amount about preparing specifications. The success that I enjoyed can be attributed to my participation in CSI. It allowed me to work with many prestigious architectural firms including three national presidents, Ross Spiegel, Sheldon Israel, and the late Richard Solomon. I was part of the group of Industry members that campaigned at the national convention for the equality of Industry members. When the Institute changed the By-laws to allow Industry members to serve as presidents, I became the first Industry president of the Fort Lauderdale Chapter. At the...
