14th Annual NCMCA State Golf Tournament

Words: Brandy ShaverThe 14th Annual North Carolina Masonry Contractor Association's (NCMCA) State Golf Tournament will be held at the Mill Creek Golf & Country Club in Mebane on Thursday, Sept. 28.

Besides being a great day of fun and fellowship, the tournament is the prime source of income for the NCMCA Sigmon Memorial Scholarship Fund. NCMCA and the N.C. State University (NCSU) School of Design have partnered for the last five years to provide a scholarship prize to NCSU architecture students for winning a design completion featuring masonry. A great introduction to masonry for these future designers!

For information, contact Tournament Chairman David McQueen of Adams Products Company at 919-815-4813 or david.mcqueen@oldcastleapg.com.
