Below is an image of the "cured-in-place" process USD uses to repair aging and damaged sewer lines with minimal impact to residents of our fine cities.
We were also visited by two members of the Newark Police Department.

A Word From the President:
Busy!
As I mentioned at last week's meeting, I have been exceptionally busy on work-related projects. As a result, I have missed publication of three issues of this bulletin.
I made my apologies. I paid my fine. I am getting back into the routine.
No matter how busy, or relaxed, you may be, I wish you a wonderfully productive and satisfying week.
NEXT WEEK: Tuesday, October 3, we will be visited by District Governor Orrin Mahoney. This is a very important meeting for our club. Please do everything you can to attend, and to arrive by noon so we can all settle in on time for this special occasion.
