It’s nice to be back in the saddle again after a chilly wet vacation in the Northwood’s of Wisconsin.  The trouble with taking a week off is that the number of news stories that are online are too many to go through, still 94 in my inbox to review for next weeks show. Some very important stories on the show which will surprise the heck out of you! Plus we’re giving away a coffee pack from the Backroads Coffee Shop in Hayward Wisconsin where they roast their own coffee beans.  I ran on a pot of this a day last week on my vacation.  Enjoy the show everyone!

Thanks to the following companies who have donated goodies to our end of the month prize pack! Fujitec America, GAL, The National Association of Elevator Contractors, The National Association of Elevator Safety Authorities, The Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, COMPANY SRL, Peelle, C.J. Anderson, Truxes, EMS Group, Elevator Bob’s Elevator Pictures, Minnesota Elevator, ElevatorGear.com, ElevatorShack.com, ElevatorU.org & Elevator World Magazine.

It was great to see those of you who came out for the EESF Chicago Cruise last week. I was impressed at the support from many of you who traveled near and far to support the EESF! I personally would like to send a warm thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success! We raised enough money to educate over 56,000 kids. We look forward to next year's event when we hope it will be a little bit warmer and sunnier! Light on content this week but a couple of articles worthy of sharing with your colleagues. Next week there will be no show as I'll be on vacation. I'm looking forward to a week off in the Northwood's of Wisconsin where I'll be enjoying the great outdoors with my family. Thanks for listening to the show today everyone, be safe out there!
