MCAA's 2004 Midyear Meeting in San Antonio, TX

Words: Colin Clampett/Public/News/9272004430.gif" width="250" height="167" border="1" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="1"> MCAA's members enjoyed a wonderful week taking in everything San Antonio has to offer. Members convened to discuss current and future MCAA initiatives and also joined events with our friends at the Texas Masonry Council (TMC). The two groups came together on an industry networking event that both their members highly enjoyed. Industry planning meetings were mixed in with exciting fundraising events helping to support efforts within the masonry industry.

MCAA and TMC members got to see what San Antonio was all about with visits to the Alamo and saddled up at the Buckhorn saloon event. MCAA members are eager to jump forward with the new programs and association efforts, resulting from the planning meetings, to help promote our industry and fight for the issues faced everyday. Don't miss out on the opportunity to become involved in your industry! Make sure you attend the next association meeting at MCAA's Masonry Showcase next April in Chicago!
