About our Site: Mazak Corporation Technology Centers Our network of eight Technology Centers strategically lo-cated across North America put component machining demonstrations, experienced applications engineers and comprehensive training in close proximity to you. Further-more, these Technology Centers play a key role in channel-ing customer input to Mazak manufacturing for the devel-opment of new machine tool technology. Mazak's Midwest Technology Center expansion introduced a completely repositioned regional sales offce and product tech center showroom that doubled their exisitng building size. High visibility and bold architectural features create iconic impact along I-90 in Schaumburg. The technology center was expanded and a new façade was added to the existing structure. The interior refresh included white marble, glass, and polished stainless steel highlighting sophisti-cated machine tools that are visible to motorist. A new outdoor courtyard is framed by feature wall in front of hospitality spaces and training facilities that were part of the 50,000 SF addi-tion. About our Speakers: Our speakers will be Kevin Bates who is the Regional General Manager for Mazak Corpora-tion and Mike Stratsky who is the Project Manager for Mazak Corporation. Karl Heitman will also present. Karl Heitman is founder and president of Heitman Architects Incorporated, a Chicago area-based firm specializing in corporate office and industrial facility planning and design. Over the past 24 years, Heitman Architects has been responsible for more than 45 million square-feet of successful-built projects in the US and abroad including more than 8 million square-feet of LEED certified facilities. Beyond single project delivery, Heitman helps clients lever-age building information and tecnology across their custom value chain by creating unique applications that range from real estate standards prototyping to cost segregation model-ing. Karl has been practicing architecture for 38 years and holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Houston. Karl will tell the story of cost effective conceptual design while maximizing visibility. About our Presentation: Kevin and Mike will speak as to what Mazak does, how they use their building and why they

expanded. They will also talk to an issue they had with pressure build up between the show-room/warehouse and the office space. Thanks to our sponsor!!

Don’t forget to get “LinkedIn” with our chapter IFMA NI Chap-ter Group

Greetings to all of our chapter members! Last month I gave out my email that we may have an open forum on topics of the day. Since that time I have discovered that IFMA national has a forum on its web site devoted to just that: IFMA Engage https://engage.ifma.org/groups/openforumhome is the home page, from there go to browse tab then dis-cussion posts. It has multiple posts related to our day to day issues- a few that I am following: Sit/stand desks for everyone?, Logging Visitors is it still needed, Security Access Control- How long to keep records and Ac-ceptable backlog of Work Orders. Most are applicable to scenarios I came currently dealing with in one way or another Because we usually operate in our own Facilities and only get to see quick glimpses of other Facilities on our monthly tours it is both in-teresting and reaffirming to see in detail what others are doing given the same difficulties. Well worth your time, check it out. I give you my email again for topics of Chapter concern: kboyd@gcfd.org Upcoming meetings include:

2017 Day of Service Saturday, September 16

This year we will be volunteering at the Great Western Prairie in Elmhurst. The Great Western Prairie is a unique 6-acre parcel of untouched land that runs parallel to the Illinois Prairie Path from Spring Road to Salt Creek. It is home to more than 100 different types of native plants and dates back to the time before European settlement of the area. We will be performing various tasks from picking up debris, cutting out invasive plants and quite possibly collecting seeds to help repopulate the native plants and to reconstitute other prairies around the Chicago area. Volunteers are asked to wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts, sturdy closed-toe shoes and to bring work gloves and hats. It also is suggested that you bring mosquito repellent and sun screen. Please bring loppers or other cutting tools, if you have them. Spouses and children are welcome to participate but the prairie is rather tall so it is not a good environment for small children.

We will be meeting at the Illinois Prairie Path located at Berkley Avenue and Prairie Path Lane in Elmhurst at 9 AM and working until Noon. Parking is available along the Illinois Prairie Path. Please contact Linda McInerney at 847-559-3909 or lindamcinerney@sbcglobal.net for more information or to volunteer.

28th Annual Golf Outing WHEN September 14, 2017 11:30 AM - 8:00 PM

WHERE Seven Bridges Golf Club 1 Mulligan Drive Woodridge, IL 60517 Add Directions link

TICKETS Golf, Lunch, Dinner, free gifts, and door prize chances. Single - $195.00 Foursome - $750.00 Networking, Lunch, & Dinner - $50 Prices increase after September 1st. Register now. Don’t miss out.

This 28th annual event promises to be a great day of networking for both FM and associate members and friends. This year’s outing includes great food, a beautiful course for golf, new on-course games, a silent auction, and – of course - door prizes. Watch for a new celebrity guest. If you had fun last year, you know it will be a great day.

Just announced—special guest Chandler Harnish. Chandler Harnish (born July 28, 1988) is a former American footballquarterback. He was the final pick of the 2012 NFL Draft, selected 253rd overall by the Indianapolis Colts, becoming Mr. Irrelevant 2012. He played college football for Northern Illinois University, where he was the Huskies' starting quarterback for four years. Har-nish has also been a member of the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals.

Check-in and Lunch – 11:30 Shotgun Start/Best-Ball Scramble – 12:30 (no previous golf experience re-quired) Reception, Food, and Prizes – 5:00 – 7:00

Best-ball format means that beginners and casual golfers can still have fun. The on-course games also do not require great skill. One game does not use a golf club at all. No clubs? No worries. Seven Bridges will rent you a set for the day.

Professional FM members can register and pay now. If invited to join an associate member paid foursome, we will refund your paid registration fee.

The chapter shares the proceeds of the outing with Aspire of Illinois and The Greater Chicago Food Deposi-tory. Your support goes a long way.
