DVGI Receives Best Chapter Award from ASCE Geo-Institute
During ASCE's GeoCongress 2024, held February 25th to 28th in Vancouver, BC, DVGI was honored to receive the ASCE Geo-Institute's 2023 Best Chapter Award. With the award, the Geo-Institute recognized DVGI's accomplishments for its members and community. DVGI thanks the many volunteers whose dedicated service led to its selection out of the many deserving local Geo-Institute chapters.
Recap: DVGI 2024 Golf Outing On Thursday, June 13th, 54 DVGI members and friends participated in the annual DVGI Golf Outing at Kimberton Golf Club in Phoenixville. Engineers, contractors, and suppliers took time out of their busy schedules to support the DVGI scholarship fund. The weather was perfect, and the refreshments were cold for the shotgun start at 9 am at the beautiful venue. The outing was a scramble format inviting all levels of golf skill.
The Axis Construction team posted the best team score overall (61), while the Kleinfelder/Weston & Sampson/HNTB team had the dubious honor of the worst or “most honest” team score. After the round of golf, participants gathered for lunch and drinks on the patio. Perren Palpant of GeoStructures, Inc. won the longest drive hole while Mike Culbertson of Keller won the closest to the pin prize (8’) and Andy Donaghy of Menard mastered the Shortest Driver.
The event was a great chance for DVGI members and friends to socialize in a more casual setting. Shout-outs to: Keithe Merl (DuroTerra) and Rick Smith (AeroAggregates) for staffing the registration table and roaming the course with refreshments; Archie Filshill (AeroAggregates) for donating his cash prize from 50/50 raffle to the DVGI Scholarship Fund; and DuroTerra and Junttan for providing the raffle ticket prizes. Special thanks to our 18 sponsors which made the event a huge success and provided over $4,300 for the Scholarship Fund. The money will be given out to students during DVGI's annual Student Night dinner meeting next March. We can't wait for next year’s outing!
