As we look forward to the 100th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Section of ASCE, we are proud to announce a contest to develop and select our special commemorative logo. The logo will be prominently displayed at all ASCE Philadelphia events and correspondence during our 100th year. This contest is open to anyone with graphic talent with the logo design being based on a theme of your choosing.

Deadline: Submissions must be emailed by January 31, 2012

Selection: The logos and themes will be posted here on our website for voting by our members during February 2012. The results of the voting will be provided to the board for final approval.

Prize: The winning member or company will receive two (2) complimentary tickets to all ASCE Philadelphia Section hosted events during our 100th Anniversary season (2012-2013).

Submissions: Please contact Jeremy Colello at jcolello@pennoni.com for information or to submit an entry.

The membership renewal competition sponsored by ASCE Nationals has ended and the results are being counted. We'll let you know if you've helped us to win the $1,000 prize from ASCE Nationals, and which local companies and agencies won our Section renewal competition. As previously advertised, the local companies and agencies with the highest percentage of employees renewing on-time for the 2012 year will be featured in an upcoming issue of The News, our website, and an upcoming section dinner meeting!

If you missed the competition deadline, that shouldn't deter you from renewing or joining. You can always register by:

- Visiting www.asce.org/renewal;

- Calling (800) 548-ASCE (2732), or;

- Returning the renewal form you may have received in the mail.

If you have any questions, please contact the ASCE Philadelphia Section Membership Secretary, Cathy G. Farrell, P.E. at (215) 442-5316 or Cfarrell@mbakercorp.com
