First, I have a few announcements.

Many of you knew Lisa Bortzfield who was the sole owner of A-1 Locksmiths. Lisa had been battling a form of cancer for several years, but regrettably she passed away late last week. The information I have is that the visitation will be at the Hathaway-Peterman Funeral Home in Wheatland, MO this Monday from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The funeral will be following the visitation. If you intend to attend, I suggest confirming these times and date with the funeral home.

I have also been informed that Frank with Dave's Lock had many locksmith items stolen from a service vehicle last week. The items included were an HPC, Duplicator, $600 boring jig, propane heater, and miscellaneous smaller items. Please be on the lookout if someone attempts to sell you anything of this nature

Bill Perry has sold the building that his business occupies, and will be liquidating all of his inventory and equipment in preparation for retirement. Bill swore on a stack of bibles that he will continue to come to our meetings :-). If you have interest in Bill's equipment, please call him at 816-471-5625.

Our education this month with be Philip Drive representing a company called Prodata Key. All I know is that it is a new, very economical electronic key system. It sounds very promising, and I will be very interested to see what it is about.

I hope to see everyone there.
