November 2020
What a challenging year for us all. I’m sure many, if not all of
us, will be glad to see the end of 2020. But before that happens,
please join ASPE’s Digital Experience on De-cember 1 – 3 by
registering at ex-po.aspe.org. Also, in case you missed the news
release, TMB Publishing, the parent company of Plumbing Engineer,
and ASPE have parted ways as of October
31st and they are no longer the official publication for the
Society. Look for an expanded version of ASPEPipeline in the weeks
to come. We hope you’ll join us on Thursday, November 19th for our
next virtual education meeting that will re-view “Pathogen
Production Water Control”, pre-sented by Will Sims of Oasis
Coolers. Remember, it is FREE to attend this presentation.
Additionally, since the Philly ASPE Chapter will not be hosting our
holiday party this year due to the pandemic and our concerns about
your health & safety, we are investigating hosting a lunchtime
vir-tual educational meeting in the middle of Decem-ber. Please
look for this announcement soon. This is another opportunity for
you to attain more knowledge about the latest industry products and
gain another CEU. Happy Thanksgiving from your extended Philly ASPE
family!

TECHNICAL CORNER Happy Thanksgiving fellow ASPE members! This
month we will be
meeting on the third Thursday of the month which will be on
11/19.
The topic will be “Pathogen Production Water Control” as
presented
by Will Sims of Oasis Water Coolers.
Hopefully, our online sessions are working for you. If you have
any
comments relative to the platform, content and time please let
the
Board know as we are working diligently to provide the best
alternate
to our traditional in person dinner meetings. The zoom meetings
do
qualify for CEUs and certificates are issued immediately after
the
meeting. We have had great turn outs so far so please take the
opportunity to attend.
We are also looking to schedule speakers for the 2020-21
calendar year. We are looking for
candidates that will be able to participate in person as we are
optimistic that early next year, we
will be able to safely begin meeting and sharing comradery as
well as gaining some industry
knowledge.

MEMBERSHIP NEWS MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT #2 - ASK A MEMBER FOR HELP
Being a member in ASPE enables you to call upon a fellow friend for
help.
Your Chapter Officers know who does what within the
organization. Call your
Chapter leaders when you are stumped on the job and ask for
help. More times
than not, you will find a fellow member who is more than willing
and able to as-
sist you with your problem. If they can’t help… kick it up to
the Region Direc-
tor, and they will find you the help you need. ASPE members
treat other mem-
bers just like family; it’s our single most valuable membership
benefit.
Strength in Numbers… none of us is as strong as all of us

AFFILIATES CORNER Please join us Thursday November 19th at 6:00
pm for the Virtual Technical Dinner Meet-ing. Will Sims with Oasis
Water Coolers will present on the topic of Pathogen Production
Water Control.
A pathogen is an organism that produces a disease. Fecal
contamination of water can intro-duce a variety of pathogens into
the waterways, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa and parasitic
worms. A very well-known pathogenic bacteria is salmonella. If this
topic interest you, please join us.
ASPE has suspended the tabletop presentations until we resume
the in-person meetings. Once resumed for just $50.00 for members
and $100.00 for non-members, you can reserve a tabletop to show
your new products to those in attendance. You also get a featured
spot during the meeting to present your products. If you’re
interest-ed, please email me at my address below to reserve a
spot.
