PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Jesse Oak, NOVA CSI President Dear CSI Members,
So this month, to see if anyone really reads the newsletter, I thought I would give a short history of the second and shortest month of the year with the help of Wikipedia.
February is the third month of meteorological winter in the Northern Hemisphere so spring will be here before you know it unless you get stuck reliving Groundhog Day on Thursday the 2nd. The name comes from the Latin term februum, which means purifica‐tion from the Roman purification ritual held on the 15th. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar since the Roman’s considered winter a monthless period which is interesting. Luckily we did not use the Old English terms Solmonath (mud month) and Kale‐monath (named for cabbage) for February. Not good names for the month that gives us Valentine’s Day also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, and Leap Year unless we are reliving the Lord of the Rings.
With that I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Groundhog and Valentine’s Day. Remember Valentine's Day is not just for couples, it is also a great day to tell your family and friends how much you love and treasure them.
And as I like to say, CSI is one of the only professional groups to bring together all of the various groups involved with the constructed environment from the owner, the contrac‐tor, material manufacturer, and supplier and designer, CSI provides a great forum to share information, network and collaborate. Think again on why you joined CSI originally, what you have learned from the organization and think about how you can share this with oth‐ers in the construction field to strengthen this collaboration and improve the industry. So invite a friend or colleague you can introduce and bring into the CSI family.
Stay safe and hope to see you soon.

c. Star Chapter: 1) Jesse has set up PayPal with our StarChapter account. PayPal will pay StarChap‐
ter but there are several required steps since it is not a direct link. a) Jesse is working toward a system that does not require continuing use of
EventBrite for meeting reservations. b) When the StarChapter based system has been tested, is well understood
and is functional, Jesse intends to get additional chapter members involved with administration of the system.
d. Where Do We Plan to Go Next? 1) Membership emphasis:
a) Recruit new members. b) Persuade current members to take active roles in chapter management,
activities and upcoming events. c) Promote membership to younger professionals.
(1) Tom proposed contacting companies and request they sponsor a per‐son from their organizations to represent them at CSI and our chapter.
(2) This proposal will be continued at the February meeting. e. FY2018 Officer Elections: Annual nominating committee activities are forthcoming.
New, member nominees are needed to serve as directors and officers. 1) Luigi suggested the President and Vice Presidents invite or appoint some posi‐
tions. 5. New Business:
a. David reported that DC Metro chapter does not have member nametags. He pro‐posed we offer our extra and unused badges to DC Metro. 1) Jesse will speak with Lauren or Wendy to see if they can use them. 2) The board agreed with the proposal.
b. Jason reported the servers will pour wine during dinner, offering a choice of red or white wine. The guests will be limited to two rounds only. The chapter will pay only for the opened bottles. The board concurred with the proposal.
6. Adjournment: There being no further business to come before the board, Presiding Officer Oak declared the meeting adjourned at 6:00 pm.
Submitted: Cynthia Heimann, Recorder
