From the Secretary’s Desk
Hello fellow recyclers,
The 2023 Upper Midwest Convention was a great success. If you missed it, you missed a wonderful learning experience, and the educational seminars were exceptional. The trade show was informative with several new vendors that brought new and exciting companies and their improvements to our industries.
We had the CARS Annual meeting and elected a new President.
Jerad Jandren, from Bay Auto Parts, was voted in as Pres. We also elected a new director in Chasten Vruwink, from TJ's Auto of Wisconsin Rapids.
Sincerely,
Sandy

You’re Invited These past few weeks, OARA, ISRI, and URG have been a whirlwind of acronyms. People often ask me if I tire of traveling the auto recycling trade show circuit. My answer: NO. Having come from the Tech world before I fell into the Auto Recycling Industry, developing relationships has been one of the great joys of my career. This is the difference between simply attending conventions/trade shows and engaging in these get-togethers. My friend, Bill Weaver, used the term "reunion" for the IT Shows. How appropriate!

Round Table Meetings - Recyclers Helping Recyclers
Hello Auto Recyclers
Last weekend I attended a Checkmate Recyclers Roundtable. We are a group of around the same size Auto recyclers that are all Checkmate YMS users from Around the country that meet at a facility a couple times a year. The pandemic of course screwed this up for a couple of years, so we had zoom calls, but now we are back in the swing to make on site visits. Last week we went to Indiana, CAR Recyclers in Manchester Indiana.
