Board Meeting
(Continued from page 25)
record which MCAA should be immensely proud of is that now 697 people have attended the Masonry Estimating Course-a record of achievement in an important field.
One outstanding feature of the Board Meeting was the tour by the entire Board membership and their families of the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs. Leaving the Broadmoor at 8 A.M. the members were privileged to have a 2½ hour tour of the various facilities of the Academy. On the golf circuit the Annual MCAA Golf Tournament was held on the West Course of the Broadmoor. Winner of this year's Glass Block trophy was Donald Frantz of Minneapolis. Winner of the low gross on the difficult course was Joe Szabo of Des Plaines, Illinois, with an 86.

The Finance Committee, under the direction of Stephen Raimo, Chairman, presented the Proposed Budget for the Association for the coming fiscal year, and after a review of each of the items it was adopted by the Board.
One of the most important matters considered by the Board during this Executive Session was the report of the Constitution & By-Laws Committee whose members are Donald Bidwell, Chairman, Fred Daues, Eugene George, Stephen Raimo, with President Anthony Perri acting in an advisory capacity. The Committee presented a complete review of the Association's current Constitution & By-Laws. Each of the various proposed changes was discussed in detail and will be processed in accordance with the current Constitution and By-Laws so that they can be presented at the Annual Meeting in February.
