Howdy from Texas,
The minute I walked into the Country Tavern BBQ joint and honky-tonk outside of Kilgore Texas, I was immediately reminded of the Kenny Rogers song of long ago. I was there to represent Team Synchro ERP at the American Foundry Socity, AFS, Texas Chapter board and planning meeting. I wish Simon Adlington, our global implementation manager could have joined me, as there was a pool table right inside the door along with some great signs. Yea, restroom sign shows an outhouse. Thought of Lee Mahon, Jon Mapp, and Daniel Alcantara when I snapped the picture of the kiddo warning as they all have bambinos.
Introducing the AFS Texas Officers present for the year 2015-2016!
Dan Smith, the President for this term did an outstanding job with his first meeting, of course he had a great team behind him!
It was a great meeting and a lot of hard work went into it. The budget for the new fiscal year was approved as well as the meeting schedule and the new fiscal year as well as committee assignment.
Yours truly has been appointed as the chairman of the membership committe and a member of the publicity and membership committee. Around August first, be sure to check out the new chapter website at www.afstexas.org
With the depressed oil prices, most foundries are reporting a downturn in business tied to the industry which is not welcome news. Fortunately, things that go down eventually come back up.
I'll leave you with a few pictures to cogitate over and I will see you on down the road next time in Arlington Texas.
Shane Allen
Synchro ERP
Head of North American Operations
