Last week Bill Marlott at Grede's Vasser operation asked me to email Saginaw Valley ASM members with a posting for an Aluminum Metallurgist to help start up and expand their new semisolid aluminum casting process. The semisolid process will start up in Vasser, then expand to multiple plants if their business plans are realized.

They are looking for BS/MS level metallurgical or materials engineers with some Al casting experience, semisolid preferred. They will consider PhD's. The salary range is competitive.

Potential candidates can contact Bill for details at (989) 823-7447.

After years of service as our reservations and tickets chair, Mark Grauf is retiring due to a change in job location. We are so grateful for his service to the chapter. Mark was the official prognosticator when we estimated attendance for restaurants, and attended all but about 2 meetings over the past 12 years. That's probably the best attendance record for the entire chapter.

We need to replace Mark, especially in his role as our reservations contact. Can you keep a list of reservations? If so, we need to hear from you -- contact Dave Paluch to volunteer: 989-757-0423 or david.1.paluch@gm.com
