Will someone ride the bus with you when the Limo breaks down?

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks." - Oprah Winfrey

The past few years have brought changes to the masonry industry, some very good ones. However the economy has and continues to provide the most dramatic and devastating challenge many have ever felt.

The best thing about tough times is that you learn alot about your relationships both professional and personal. When things are good, everyone wants to go along for the ride. When things are bad, you find out who is on 1st and who isn't even playing the same game you are.

Over the past months, I find myself being prouder than ever of my affiliation with Masonry. I've watched as associate competitors work side by side to promote the industry and contractors help fellow masons hiring employees with the knowledge that the workforce will change again when the next job is obtained.

New members have willingly written checks, some paying dues in full believing in our mission.

Members from 2009 continue to renew membership dues, some making payments in monthly or quarterly installments; yet, still making the decision to renew membership because they believed in the strength of the association and the association's efforts to promote the masonry trade as a necessity not a luxury.

A promotional association, MAF encourages business amongst its members. Take a moment and view the list of members below. These companies are along for the MAF ride, so be sure to support them. Joyce Rivas
