Buck has made several presentations recently and has received very positive responses. Several high school seniors have already contacted her looking for employment this summer and the opportunity to start the MAG apprenticeship program in August.
Also, when Buck presented at the DeKalb Technical College's Covington and Clarkston campuses, her presentation - along with several other organizations - were videotaped. DeKalb Tech is editing this videotape to use at all high schools and tech centers, so guidance counselors and tech prep coordinators can promote the opportunities available for students.
If you have a need for laborers this summer, please do not hesitate to contact Buck. Graduating seniors and adults eager to learn the masonry trade will be starting class in August with their apprenticeship classes paid through the WIA funding. Students cannot become registered apprentices until hired by a mason contractor, so let's put them to work!

On August 12, don't bother to go to work! Why? Because the Masonry Institute of Iowa's (MII) 2005 Golf Outing will be held that day, so come out and join everyone else for an afternoon of fun in the sun.
The Sixth Annual MII Golf Outing is an 18-hole, four-man, best ball event held at The Legacy Club in Norwalk, Iowa. Pin and team prizes, as well as participation, have grown every year, with proceeds going to the Iowa Masonry Education Foundation to help fund scholarships for Iowa masonry and construction students.
Anyone can participate - manufacturers, suppliers, mason contractors, general contractors, architects, engineers or anyone who just appreciates high-quality construction. MII even has a special rate for architects, engineers and general contractors to show their appreciation for including masonry in their building projects. Registration rates are $60 per architect, engineer or general contractor; $75 per MII member; and $100 per non-member. The deadline for registration is July 31.
So, get a team together and join in the fun. It'll be an afternoon of golf, good competition, plenty of great food and unbelievable prizes. And we guarantee it will be a whole lot better than going to work.
