Please make plans to attend the next PVF Roundtable General Assembly Meeting on August 19, 2008 at The HESS Club in Houston, TX.  The HESS Club is located at 5430 Westheimer, on the north side of the street between the Galleria and Chimney Rock.

We'll begin with the social hour that starts at 4:30 PM, featuring an open bar courtesy of Sidney Westbrook and Westbrook Manufacturing.  The social hour provides a networking opportunity to meet friends and customers and visit with PVF industry vendors that is unmatched by any other event in our industry. We have received comments from people that have attended the past three or four meetings that have stressed the importance of networking opportunities during the social hour and dinner. They say these opportunities afford them the chance to see important industry contacts that might not be available to them during the normal workday.

We will follow the social hour with a buffet dinner which has become a favorite of our members and guests.  The dinner provides members and guests the opportunity to continue networking.  The relaxed atmosphere of the social hour and dinner cannot be matched at any other industry event.

The Keynote Speaker for this evening will be Bob Tippee, Editor of Oil & Gas Journal. Bob will give us his annual Market Review, and as usual, he will manage to entertain us with his take on our country’s political situation and how it affects our industry.

We urge you to invite guests to the meeting. We are always trying to increase our membership and guests are generally potential members. Bring your customers or invite your competitors as well as other people from within your company. Don’t miss this outstanding opportunity to network with your industry associates and customers.

Please remember that, because the General Assembly meetings have become so popular, a prompt RSVP is to your advantage.

Please RSVP to the PVF Roundtable website at www.pvf.org. To confirm, just click on Meeting Confirmation and fill out that short form.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
