And of course California Surveying and Drafting Supply with offices in Sacramento and Pleasanton have also been fantastic supporters of our chapter. Ben Scholes will be at the picnic with his usual team and a di-verse profile of products. I look forward to seeing every-one there!
Special Thanks to East Bay Chapter Picnic Sponsors!
The East Bay Chapter would like to thank California Surveying and Drafting Supply , Altus Positioning and Engineering Supply Company for their gener-ous donations that help fund scholarships for stu-dents and public outreach to the committee.
Unfortunately due to family matters, Chuck Madrid from Engineering Supply Company will be unable to attend due to family matters. He will be missed. His continuous support has been commendable. He offers a full array of Topcon instruments in Martinez, CA.
Of special note, Nick LaFond from Altus Positioning is making a special trip to Northern California to meet with our members at the picnic. Altus Posi-tioning offers flexible and compatible GPS solu-tions. My understanding is that they offer firm-ware updates and upgrades for the life of the in-strument.
