MCAA's Midyear Meeting Gets Spicy!
The Mason Contractors Association of America's (MCAA) Midyear Meeting will heat up in San Antonio, September 23-25.
Meeting participants will enjoy their stay in San Antonio - the eighth largest U.S. city-with its blend of historical landmarks and cosmopolitan city life. San Antonio captures the spirit of Texas and is home of The Alamo, known as the "Shrine of Texas Liberty" for being the historical rallying point of the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Other historical points of interest include La Villita (one of the original settlements), the San Fernando Cathedral and Market Square (the largest Mexican marketplace outside of Mexico).
Attendees of MCAA's 2004 Midyear Meeting will also delight in their accommodations at The Westin Riverwalk Hotel. Named to Condé Nast Traveler's 2003 Gold List and rated "4 Diamonds" by AAA Publishing, the Westin Riverwalk has an intimate feel, Texas-sized accommodations and amenities, and offers exquisite Spanish colonial artwork to further surround you in the essence of Texas. The hotel also offers scenic views and lush landscaping, located on the tranquil and trendy Riverwalk, a tree-lined pedestrian walkway of hidden gardens, specialty boutiques, European-style sidewalk cafés, and nightclubs.
During the three-day event, participants will also get a chance to participate in a golf tournament at the Pecan Valley Golf Club, skeet shooting at the San Antonio Gun Club, and an evening at the Buckhorn Saloon & Museum. The final evening will be dedicated to the Texas Masonry Council's Golden Trowel Awards reception and dinner.
For more information on the 2004 Midyear Meeting, please contact MCAA at (800) 536-2225. Become involved in your industry's future!
