Welcome to fall!
It was great to see so many of you at the Oilheat Retreat in Peabody, MA last month. It was a weekend of work and play as nearly 50 OESP members and guests gathered to kick off the fall heating season. I hope that you were able to get into the Halloween spirit while visiting the historic and ghostly town of Salem.
Details on the Spring BOD meeting will be coming soon. It will be held March 30 – April 2, 2023 at a new venue, Caesars Atlantic City. We will be scheduling tours of the EEE venues for those who are interested. Look for sign-ups after the first of the year.
Planning is also underway for the Eastern Energy Expo, scheduled for May 21-24, 2023 at Atlantic City Convention center, and hosted by Harrah’s Resort. The amazing venue will hold all the exhibitors under one roof and will give attendees a great venue to network and socialize with industry executives.
We are in the midst of planning a very dynamic schedule for you, including technical education classes and training. You also won’t want to miss the OESP Opening Reception and Awards Banquet, promising to be better than ever.
We will once again host the Care to Ride on Monday, May 22. We look forward to riding through the roads of South Jersey – it is sure to be a not-to-miss event. Bikers, walkers and runners are also welcome! Routes will be provided for all!
The Dave Nelsen Scholarship golf outing will also take place on Monday, May 22. We will be playing at the Blue Heron Pines Golf Club in Egg Harbor, NJ. We are depending on all of you to help keep the scholarship fund growing to continue our mission of education. And of course, we’ll have a great time doing it. So, join us!
We are always looking for new service managers and technicians to join the Association. Do you have friends or colleagues who would benefit from membership in OESP? Bring them along to a fall meeting. It is more important than ever to continue to grow our great Association and educate the next generation of industry professionals.
New members can join now and get a “nearly 2 for 1” on the upcoming heating seasons. They will get the remainder of 2022 and all of 2023 included in one price!
