Freezefest is rain or shine, sleet or snow.....unless unsafe weather is upon us.  Check back here to make sure the event is happening, if you believe bad weather may affect the event.  We've never had to cancel a Freezefest.......some have been very cold, and some have been unseasonably mild.  We're hoping for mild. :)

December Member of the Month

Chris Zenner
(Team ZME)
Washington, PA
 
 
Congratulations to "The Human RTA" Chris Zenner for his selection as  our December Member of the Month.
Chris is a Charter Member,  with the club since the first day in February 1999.  He is a member of the Judge's Hall of Fame.
MOTM's are usually picked from Competitors who competed in the month of selection.  Chris has competed before, but others had more credentials in the lanes and that is how MOTM's are determined.  In all these 13 years, Chris has never mentioned a word about being MOTM, a true testimony to his understanding of what MECA is all about, and the spirit and dedication he has for our club and contests.
As a distinquished SQL and SPL Judge, Chris' credentials are incrediible, with over 20 years experience, based on fastidious installation skills and direct involvement with music as a singer and sound engineer.  Chris' ears and experience make him an ideal Sound Quality Judge, and he's one of the world's best.
As owner of a  shop that specializes in mobile electronics sales and installation, he is regarded as one of the most knowledgeable security installers and troubleshooters in the industry.  His audio installs reflect the "do the most with the least" philosophy.
We have been fortunate to have Chris in our club and on our Judge Team.  His ideals for sportsmanship,  honest scoring and evaluations, and MECA spirit make hiim our  December Member of the Month.
