structures. The course will also introduce the differences between, Mobile, Manufactured, Modular, Panelized and Pre-Cut design systems, but only so far as to help the student understand the differences.

The course is not designed for those engaged in the field of either installation or code enforcement as pertains to Manufactured Housing.

If this is a new chapter (Illinois State Chapter), why are the checks made payable to NACHI Chicago?

3

My guess is they don’t have the infrastructure in place to handle the registration and financials.

Of course, you could always spin some wild conspiracy issues too.:roll:

4

So far, you are the only person to suggest a conspiracy. I simply asked a question.

5

Jeff, your guess would be correct, I think it is very nice of the Chicago chapter to offer other chapters a hand like this. Kudos to them.

Shame some other chapters are not as forthcoming.

Regards

Gerry

6

Ditto Gerry,

Yes it is a shame that some idiots have nothing better to do than bash a chapter that pitches in to help.:roll: :roll: :roll:

7

That’s right, Jeff. Knock it off with the conspiracy stuff, will you? Jeez:roll:

8

So the phone company didn’t kill Kennedy?

9

:smiley: :smiley:

Which Kennedy?

10

Mr. Myers asked for our Chapter, which has its own web site and PayPal account and incorporation and some really good guys (Jeff W. is our former Sec./Treas.) who pitch in and actually do stuff (great stuff) to help out the new State Chapter until they get their organization in place.

You should know that there are some (great!) opportunities that come along with NACHI that are so good (like Gerry’s course) that you sometimes don;t have time to get all the T’s crossed.

NACHI helps NACHI out.

Hope this answers your question. Next time, just give me a call and we can avoid all these conspirancy posts. :mrgreen:

11

Thanks for the explanation, Will.

Where is the new chapter based?

12

ISC (Illinois State chapter)

Mr. Russ Myers can answer that James.

I am the midwest director (Chicago Chapter education coordinator).

13

Thank you, Patrick.

Is Russ Myers the president of the Illinois State Chapter?

This is a great opportunity to help spread NACHI education throughout the State of Illinois.

…or, they may simply go to http://www.nachi.org/form.htm and start a chapter in Illinois on their own, right?

Jim

That’s absolutely correct, in fact the Illinois State Chapter hopes to encourage such growth.
