USTON FOR THE 12th ANNUAL CONVENTION & MCAA SHOW
Tuesday morning program will be devoted entirely to Work Shop sessions each presenting a topic of vital importance to the member. The time schedule too, will make it possible for delegates to attend two of the three sessions.
Convention headquarters will be the Shamrock Hilton Hotel. With its 800 spacious rooms and vast meeting room area, guests will find their stay most enjoyable. The annual MCAA Educational Trade Show will be held in the Shamrock Exhibit Hall immediately adjoining the Hotel. Here one of the largest educational exhibits will be presented by leading firms in the Masonry Industry. List of those firms already exhibiting may be found on page 14 of this issue.
The 1961 MCAA Ladies' Program will be one of the most exciting ever scheduled. Besides the usual coffee hours and convention social affairs, a fast moving yet varied program of tours and presentations is being planned.
For the seventh straight year there is no increase in Convention Registration Fees. You can save $5 by filling out the Advance Registration form appearing on page 18 and returning it to the MCAA Executive Office.
Immediately following the Convention Cartan Travel Bureau is arranging a Mexican Holiday Trip which will depart Wednesday from the Shamrock Hotel. Details and Request form can be found on page 5.
Chairman of the '62 Convention is Herman L. May, MCAA Secretary and President of the Houston Chapter.
