2009 college scholarships awarded to Fontes, Goldstein and Shea

Each year, ASM awards several $2,000 college scholarships to deserving sons and daughters of ASM members, funded by proceeds from our annual golf tournament. The ASM scholarship committee has named the winners of its 2009 awards: Melanie Fontes of Mansfield (whose dad, Jose Fontes, works at ENE Systems); Max Goldstein of Needham (son of Eric Goldstein of CF Data Systems); and Aislinn Shea of Northborough (daughter of Francis Shea, with Sullivan Group Insurance). All three were outstanding in both academic achievement, as well as extra-curricular activities and community service. Fontes has been accepted at Boston College; Goldstein is headed to Brandeis; and Shea will continue her studies at Hamilton College, NY. We congratulate each of them and extend our thanks to the sponsors of our 2009 golf tournament whose generosity helped make the 2009 scholarships possible.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
