Hello to everyone in the world of Concrete. As we move forward in the year that will not end, I hope everyone is coping well. The pandemic restrictions are updated again in an effort to balance safety, economics and personal sanity. Compound this with the uplifting campaign ads, and our heads are spinning. Hopefully this CRMCA update provides positive information that has occurred or planned in the near future. We know we will get through this and on to better days, and we are all very ready for that time. A lot is going on, so let’s get to it!
Here is a recap of the recent events:
