Northern Colorado Chapter Educates Public About Radon
January was National Radon Awareness Month. On Jan. 14, the Northern Colorado Chapter (NCC-ASHI) hosted a free public awareness event titled Busting the Myths of Radon in Fort Collins. The chapter brought in a local expert and held a panel discussion. Members of the community and local real estate agents and brokers attended. Chapter members donated free radon measurement tests to be raffled off with other door prizes.

First Local Meeting Group Forms in Mobile
On Saturday, January 28, 2012, five ASHI South Chapter members participated in an organizational meeting with several members from southern Alabama to establish a Mobile Local Meeting Group. The group will be under the direction of the South Chapter’s Board of Directors and will provide an ASHI chapter presence in southern Alabama, as well as serve the panhandle of Florida and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. It is hoped the Mobile Local Meeting Group will eventually become a South Alabama Chapter.
Five ASHI South members drove down to this organizational meeting: Frank Fondren and Phillip Smith from Tuscaloosa, Derl Nelson and Tom Appleby from Birmingham, and John Knudsen from Montgomery. The ASHI members attending the meeting from the Mobile and Gulf Shores areas were Buddy Bullock, Porter Elder, Jim Ellis, Tommy Van Pelt and Gary Middleton.
