We Recycle Wow, I can’t believe another month has come and gone! September is a special month for WWDR as it was September 2003, when the company was founded. So, each September we invite companies to share the history of their company, products, or projects with you our dear subscribers. This year the response was incredible! So much so, we will have to feature WWDDR ’s history article and Ronnie’s Real World in the October issue. Wait until you read some of the fantastic tales of how these companies used their passion for the drilling industry to build and expand their businesses. Let your favorite manufacturer/distributor know you appreciate them sharing their history with you through dWi e r l i g R ur Worl d D i l n eso ce ® . Speaking of appreciation, our Sales Team is working on a special REWARDS program for 2017, to show our gratitude for the valuable advertisers who bring this publication to nearly 40,000 subscribers each month. Keep your eyes open for our Marketing Guide which will have more details and should be heading your way soon. This is going to be an exciting year for WWDR ! There is simply no slowing this Team down! The WWDR Team ended August and began September with coverage of The Water Expo in Miami, Florida, and continued with the National Drilling Association Convention in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and MINExpo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Whew! Our skates are rolling! Be sure to visit the WWDR Photo Gallery at www.worldwidedrillingresource.com to view, download, and print photos from your favorite trade shows (for personal use only unless approved by WWDR management) .
