The Mississippi Chapter of the American Public Works held its annual fall conference in Grenada. We enjoyed a beautiful day of golfing at The Dogwoods Golf Course and supper at the clubhouse. Pictures of the golf can be found on other pages in this site. On Friday morning, we started off the day with opening remarks by our president, Danny Lee. Kyle Cook with Ergon and Tim Harrawood with Vance Brothers talked about new innovations with asphalt preservation. Afterwards, Bill Moody of the Mississippi State Department of Health, State Revolving Loan Office, presented a program on available monies for improvements for water systems throughout the state. Jay Estes with ECO talked on Stormwater Management for Local Governments. Jasper Welsch of MEMA provided important information of emergency preparedness for Public Works officials.
After the presentations by these speakers, we had our regular business meeting during lunch. A special placque will be given to Ms. Shirley Sappington, widow of Don, who was our past president. Don passed away on June 7, 2007 while serving as president for our association. He has been dearly missed and we will always remember him. Danny has stepped up and took over where Don left off and we are fortunate to have him serving as president for our association.
Thanks to Jasper for taking the pictures during the golf tournament.
