Dear Jennifer,

What a month! I think the news has been filled with accomplishment after accomplishment from our PEP member organizations. It is an exciting time for our area!

Thank you to all who have attended our events over the last month. We had 61 teams come out to enjoy beautiful weather, delicious food, and networking at our golf tournament, which was a great success. Cause to Clean: Montlimar Creek showcased your commitment to protecting our waterways, with more than 50 volunteers removing nearly 500 pounds of trash. WOW!

Coming up, I hope to see you at our PEP Networking Social on May 23 starting at 4:30 p.m. at Old Majestic Brewing Company, or at our June Lunch & Learn, sponsored by Alpha Supply, at the PEP office next month.

Finally, please save the date for our 23rd Industrial Reverse Trade Show on October 19, 2023. We will be releasing sponsorship and registration soon.

As always, I am here for any questions you may have. I look forward to seeing you soon, if I haven't already!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Denson, Executive Director

In just two hours, 50 volunteers from 15 companies and organizations collected 487 pounds of trash, 11 pounds of which were able to be recycled. Some of the debris collected included: a shopping cart, baby gate, suitcase, wood pallet, various metal pieces and an aluminum chair.

Participating companies and organizations included: Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, Osprey Initiative, AM/NS Calvert, AMVAC, Cain and Associates, Elevate Workforce, HSA (formerly Mitsubishi Polysilicon), Outokumpu, PPM Consultants, SCS Engineers, TC Boiler, Thompson Engineering, and VSC Fire & Security.
