YMF Membership Happy Hour September 22, 2005 With the beginning of a new year for ASCE, YMF held its annual membership happy hour. Young engineers from all companies were invited to come and meet the 2005-2006 YMF board members and socialize with one another. The first round of drinks at the Loaded Hog was on us! Everyone was given the opportunity to give up their first round and have the money contributed the YMF’s hurricane donation. Between the happy hour, some personal donations and the money YMF decided to contribute, a check for $1200 was given to the American Red Cross. Pictures of the event have been posted.
