On Thursday evening, December 1, chapter members and guests began the holiday season by enjoying a holiday party at The Willows at Brooking Park.  Frank Merrins and his team transformed The Willows into a winter wonderland!

Tiffany Wild coordinated this outstanding event!  Guests enjoyed delicious appetizers and beverages, music by the Vince Martin band, while catching up with their IFMA friends.

On behalf of the St. Louis Chapter of IFMA, we thank everyone that donated to Emmaus Homes.  Your thoughtfulness and generosity is truly appreciated.

The Membership Engagement Committee hosted their 2nd Annual New Member Social at CJ Muggs on November 17.  Over 60 members and friends attended.  In a more intimate atmosphere, attendees were able to meet members of the board, committee chairs, and learn more about membership benefits and how to get involved in the chapter.

“I tell you what,” Bradley shouts over the noise to Stueber, who’s dressed in a white shirt, dress pants and a tie. “You have the whitest shirts I’ve ever seen.”

Stueber smiles, promises to pass the compliment on to his wife, and steps inside.

It’s warm here, with yellow lines traveling across the floors like a roadway and pipes hanging overhead.

When he first started 19 years ago, everything here was a sooty black, covered with years of evidence of coal power. Stueber and his employees started cleaning and discovered white tile bricks, which still neatly line the walls. Only now you can see them. It’s clean and orderly inside the power plant now, with signs on different machines telling the maintenance employees how much money they’ve saved, or which employee is responsible for different pieces of equipment.

“It’s the little things,” says Stueber, director of facilities engineering.
