1985 - 1986

In September of 1985 the Chapter established an education program consisting of two plumbing systems design courses and a CIPE review course. This program was an immediate success and is being expanded to include a fire protection system design class and a plumbing drafting course.

The 6th Biennial Product Show was held in March of 1986 and was a tremendous success with 50 exhibitors and over 500 visitors. We had a theme for this Product Show; "Water...Works", and devised a logo to carry this theme which was very well received.

The meeting place continued at Evans Farm Inn until September of 1986 when the location once again moved back to Maryland at Bish Thompson's in Bethesda. Our membership continues to be strong and active. We have a member currently working with the WSSC Plumbing Code Revision Committee.
