SNAME
HQ Outreach to Katrina Victims
In the
last SNAMeNewsLetter issue, SNAME reached out to Katrina victims
to learn of their professional reference losses. Some responses
have been received indicating that these losses include most
or all of some members professional references, and most particularly
their copies of Principles of Naval Architecture. Anyone wishing
to help them recover their losses may do so by sending a contribution
check to SNAME Headquarters, made out to SNAME and with the
notation "Katrina Victim aid". Any amount is big
enough to help. The accumulated funds will be used to provide
replacement texts for Katrina victims. If you need to make
a SNAME contact regarding this, please e-mail wmaclean@sname.org.

PE
Update
Those planning to start studying for the April 2007 NAME exam
should register early for the NAME P.E. Review
Course. The 2007 course is now online for those interested
in early registration. While the updating of course materials
will take place over the next couple of months, starting to
study, based on last year's course materials is still a good
idea. The registration fee for members remains at $500 and
for non-members it is now $750.
To register, contact Richard Mouk at rmouk@sname.org
or call (201) 798-4800, Ext.3044.
