2008 MASONRY SKILLS
CHALLENGE
An event of this magnitude could not and would not have been such a huge
success without the support of volunteers and contributions from both suppliers
and contractors. The purpose and mission of this Association is to make the
industry better. These competitions are not only exciting for the participants
but for the contractors as well.
