Spring 2005 Convention

If you were not at Kingsmill for the VRMCA Spring Convention, you missed a great meeting. We had a number of speakers that discussed VDOT funding, environmental issues that surround our industry, the LEED program and presentations from our field representatives.

We also had Senator Russ Potts at the meeting, who discussed his thoughts regarding his run for the Governor of Virginia and Peter Longo who is a motivational speaker, as well as golf trick shot artist.

Winners of the shooting tournament were Chet Parzych of Titan America and Durvin Corker of Martin Marietta. Winners of the golf tournament were: Nick Collins of Transit Mixed Concrete Corporation, Scott Finney of Rappahannock Concrete Corporation, Brad Meyers of Swope & Associates Inc. and Jay Ashley of Luck Stone.

Kingsmill was a beautiful location and all of our members enjoyed the facilities. We elected three new members to the VRMCA Board-Robert Chandler with Chandler Concrete of Virginia, Charlie Fairchilds with Allied Ready Mix Company and Dan Joyner with TCS Materials Corporation.

We have listed all the board members who represent your Association and thank them for the time they put into working on issues on your behalf. Please make plans to join us at our next meeting at Wintergreen on September 11-13, 2005.

We also have provided the dates for the next three conventions in the newsletter in hopes that you will mark them on your calendar.

We will not return to Williamsburg in 2007 because of the Jamestown festivities. The Board felt that it made sense to return to The Homestead during that year and then to go back to Williamsburg in 2008 after the festival has taken place.
