HAPPY NEW YEAR fellow Mansfield ASQ members,

I am hoping that your holidays have been good. A great time to relax and reflect with family and friends. Well, since the 2nd Thursday in January is 7 days after New Years' Day, we don't have a lot of time to think about our January meeting. So check your calendar now. And if not booked, give Caryn a call or email ( see below). ( the snow is coming this Monday night, so this Thursday may be good) And we want to again thank Stoneridge as they have volunteered to pick up the tab for Thursday's catered meal!!!

And since we didn't have a December meeting and no big news items for December, there wasn't a newsletter last month. Sorry about that.

JOB Opening : A new one..... If interested in a local Quality Lab Supervisor, see section #7 below. ( no, #7 is NOT a hashtag ) ( And if any of you know of other Quality openings, please let me know. )

And finally, as an OSU alum, I can't help but say "Go Bucks ! "

Best regards, Joe Joe Hildebrand Mansfield ASQ Internet Liaison & Placement Chair [email protected] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
