Say, What Do We Have Here?

Hello from Texas where the days are getting noticeably shorter as we rush into the fall season.  When I talk to our customers on the other side of the world in the Oceanic region, we often discuss the weather and also how their days are also getting noticeably longer.  I still have a hard time grasping the concept that in Australia, Christmas is in the summer.  Oh well, as the world turns...

Anyway, I love getting packages in the mail.  Received one today and it's not Christmas, nor my birthday, so what could it be?  The box sure is heavy.

I haven't ordered anything online as of recent, so what could it be?

Perhaps it is my lottery winnings or maybe a gift from a secret admirer?

Looks shiny, perhaps gold from Fort Knox? 

Ah, it's from my friend Leo Baran and the fine team at the AFS, American Foundry Society!  What a pleasant surprise! 

Synchro ERP is a proud to be a  corporate member of the American Foundry Society promoting metalcasters through education, government involvement, and industry support.

The American Foundry Society is the leading U.S. based metalcasting society, assisting member companies (metalcasting facilities, diecasters and industry suppliers) and individuals to effectively manage their production operations, profitably market their products and services and equitably manage their employees. The American Foundry Society also promotes the interests of the metalcasting industry before the legislative and executive branches of the federal government. With the direction of its volunteer committee structure, the professional staff of the American Foundry Society provides support in the areas of technology, management and education to further the economic progress of the metalcasting industry.

I'll get to see Leo very soon at the AFS Texas Regional.  

Until next time, see you on down the road.

Shane Allen

Head of Synchro ERP North American Operations
