Following is a recap of Tuesday night’s meeting at Chimney Rock Inn.  We had a nice large group in attendance and it was great to see everyone again.  Marty Coffey opened the meeting and as we all introduced ourselves it was great to hear that most members plan on attending our Deck Awards Dinner. We also have quite a few builders entering the competition.  Thank you in advance to WOLF, Mid-State Lumber and TREX who have already signed up for sponsorship!!

We had a few new members and prospects in attendance.  I would like to thank our new members Mike Nocar from Niece Lumber, Mark Skove from Old School Contracting, Ernest Brackett and Greg Pekaas from Techno Metal Post, all for coming out.  It was great to meet you all and we hope to see you again real soon!  It was also nice to meet new prospective members James Day from Artisan Builders Group and Chris Masterson from Masterson Construction
Thank you TimerTech for sponsoring this meeting and Brad from CDS for standing in for Mike Schwartz who unfortunately was not able to attend.
We discussed the need to redistribute the Deck for a Soldier flyer and also distribute a Deck Awards flyer.  I have attached them both to this recap in case you do not have them.  Please print out and distribute them freely!!
Thank you Dan Miles for all of your great tips about photography.  I think we all learned something from your presentation from the time of day to take the photos, getting releases from the customers to going back after three months to inspect the deck and take more pictures.
We can’t wait to see you all at the Deck Awards Dinner on Feb. 21, 2013 at Ariana’s Grand in Woodbridge, NJ.   Don’t forget that the deadline for dinner registration is Feb. 11, 2013.
