More than 200 American Society of Civil Engineers members from across the country – 49 states represented – gathered in Washington, DC, March 15th – 17th for the annual ASCE Legislative Fly-In to advocate on Capitol Hill for infrastructure improvements, only to learn that the Washington Metro was closing for 24 hours to make emergency inspections the exact day of the scheduled Congressional visits. No matter. It was just another very timely talking point for the members to make the case for infrastructure. The focal points for the members to push on the Hill this year included the Federal Aviation Administration bill reauthorization, work on and passage of a Water Resources Development Act so that it is on a two-year cycle, and the importance of increased investment for water infrastructure. The following ASCE-NH members attended the fly-in and met with NH Senator Kelly Ayotte: ASCE-NH Treasurer Nick Golon (TFMoran, pictured on the far right), ASCE-NH President-Elect Thalia Valkanos, ASCE-NH Legislative Committee Chair Darren Benoit, and former ASCE-NH Student Liason Andrew Wells.

TFMoran Supports Safe Sports Network
TFMoran’s Dylan Cruess attended the 2016 Safe Sports Social on March 23, 2016 at the Derryfield Restaurant in Manchester, NH. The Safe Sports Social is an annual fundraiser sponsored by the New Hampshire Musculoskeletal Institute to support the placement of certified athletic trainers in greater Manchester area high schools at no or reduced cost to the schools. Currently the Safe Sports Network provides certified athletic trainers to 8 area high schools and is working on a special project to expand sports safety to area middle schools.
This year’s Social featured Manchester area native and former Major League pitcher, Chris Carpenter, as the keynote speaker. It also marked the fourth consecutive year that TFMoran has supported this great event. TFMoran is deeply committed to supporting local organizations and initiatives that benefit our local communities.
TFM Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with a “T.G.I.F”
At the end of the day on Friday, March 18th, TFM Bedford hosted a “T.G.I.F.” Saint Patrick’s Day staff event. After all, “Moran” is of Irish descent, just another reason to celebrate, adding a little fun and festivity among fellow co-workers. The reception area walls were decked out in sparkling shamrocks, metallic swirls and shamrocks hung from the ceiling, green beads and shamrock confetti were every where, and the Irish music in the background all added to the festive atmosphere. Bright yellow tulips and daffodils on the table were a cheery reminder spring is here!
Thanks to Cassi, our receptionist, we were treated to a rainbow shaped fruit salad with a “pot of gold” (rolos) at the end, along with a very colorful veggie platter with home-made dip. In addition to the healthy selections, we enjoyed hot appetizers by the Puritan Backroom, bacon/cheese potato skins, chicken tenders, meatballs and cheese sticks. The Irish theme, of course called for a selection of Irish beer to make the celebration complete. Throw in a few green frosted mini cupcakes and rainbow M&M cookies to top it off, and a great, green time was had by all!
