    Gas Logs Saved!
 

DC Court of Appeals Rules for Fireplace Industry

I know we sent out an email announcing the D.C. Court of appeals decision in favor of the HPBA over the U.S. Department of Energy, but good news bears repeating! Please see www.SaveGasLogs.com to read the Court’s opinion and learn about the history of the issue with the DOE. We’ll keep you posted if the DOE attempts any new rulemaking and, rest assured, we’ll fight any unreasonable regulation of the products we make and you sell.

 


    New Shipping Option – FEDEX

We now have daily pickup service from FEDEX, in addition to UPS, for orders too small to ship via LTL or Truckload.

You may specify your preference of carrier (FEDEX or UPS) on your purchase order. If you do not, we will select the carrier. FEDEX has an earlier pick-up time from us than UPS, so sometimes which carrier we choose will depend on what time it is when we complete production of your order.

One advantage of shipping by FEDEX to residences is that they deliver on Saturdays at no additional cost with their FEDEX-HOME service.

Please contact us with your FEDEX account number if you wish to have your shipments third-party billed to your FEDEX account.

 


    Vote for HPBA Board of Directors
 
pic5Members of HPBA should have received their ballot for HPBA Board of Directors. Rett Rasmussen was asked by Jack Goldman, President & CEO of HPBA, to place his name in nomination, and Rett agreed. Here is the biography Rett submitted:

“Rett Rasmussen has been Vice President of Rasmussen Iron Works, Inc., a Whittier, California-based manufacturer of fireplace gas log sets and infrared gas grills, since 1987. He is a Certified Gas Engineer from the American Society of Gas Engineers and has been a member of various working groups and committees dealing with standards development and regulatory matters relating to gas logs and fireplaces. He has attended every HPBExpo since 1986.

Rett has a BS from the U.S. Naval Academy and was a Surface Warfare Officer before joining Rasmussen. He serves on the Board of the Whittier Rotary Club, has been an Advisory Board Member for the Whittier Salvation Army, and is a Eucharistic Minister for his church. He has been married to Irene for twenty-two years, and is the father to Teddy (20) and Chris (17). He is an Eagle Scout, Assistant Scoutmaster, Corresponding Secretary for his USNA class and was a water polo goalie in high school and college. Rett enjoys hiking, working out and reading history and thriller novels.”

If you want to keep Rett even busier than he is already, give him your vote! Rett enjoys being “an idea man” on the boards on which he has served, and pledges to serve the members of HPBA well as a board member. Your ballot must be submitted by March 7.
