Greetings ASME Santa Clara Valley Members,
I hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving Holiday. We have a shorter email digest this month, but SCVS and our partners continue to offer events during the final weeks of 2012. I hope you will consider including your fellow SCVS members in your year-end festivities by joining us for one or more of these events!
As always, please let us know if you have any comments or feedback.
Sincerely,
