POS'TMASTER: Matsys Online Send address changes to HOROLOG/CAI. nMES, 701 Enterprise Drive, Harrison, OH President's Message Jim Door The water resistance ability of a watch case is not a permanent condition. It must be maintained properly. This is something we address daily with our watch repair customers, educating them and selling them on the needed parts to maintain their timepiece. The same goes for our businesses and our organization. They must be properly maintained to function as they are meant to. In the March HT, Jack Kurdzionak detailed the process of correctly determining the proper back gasket for a watch. In the same manner we must take care to properly measure up our business and make the best choices. Good decisions are rarely made in haste. All the facts must be examined and weighed; then hopefully the decisions made are the best ones. This is how the A WCI Board of Directors tries to operate. There is often a push by some members to make quick decisions, ones based at times on incomplete data or based on emotions. At times we are asked to act on items of which we have no authority. By our legal documents we are an educational organization, not a trade union. Our purpose is to provide educational opportunities for our members and to take a role in assessing the capabilities of the same. We are not a political action committee (PAC). There is also confusion as to the relationship between the A WCI and The ElM Trust. Legally they are separate entities. They do share facilities in Harrison and cooperate together. The A WCI Board also approves the appointment of the trustees. The Trust owns the library and museum. Due to a long-standing agreement, the A WCI members are able to borrow books from the library. While both groups are not-for-profits, only the Trust is a charitable organization. This means that donations to it are tax deductible. Both of these organizations make their own decisions and cannot tell each other what to do. Executive Director's Message James E. Lubic, CMW We have started the process of developing the WTl and WT2 Certifications. Presently they are being called the Watch Specialist and Watch Technician. Winnie Reid of Castle Worldwide is doing a wonder ful job of keeping us on task gathering the type of information that she needs.
