P A G E 3 Dear TLPCA Membership, PRESIDENT S MESSAGE It is hard to believe that Christmas is almost upon us and before you know it we will be ushering in 2017! As we roll into the Christmas Season I am thankful for so many things. The health and happiness of my family, friends and colleagues, the ability to live and work in a free country, the prosperity surrounding our current market conditions and most importantly the Grace provided by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am also reminded that there are many families that are not so fortunate which makes the Christmas Season very hard. I hope you are all able to take time to count your blessings as well as find time to give back to some of those who are less fortunate. NEW ASSOCIATE MEMBER Sesco Cement 8510 E. Sam Houston Pkwy. 77044 Phone: (281) 582-1584 (Ext. 200) FAX: Web: www.sescocement.com E-mail: m.sameh@sescocement.us Mohamed Sameh, Managing Director Things do slow down a bit in December, but I did want to bring a few things to your attention: 1. We are in the beginning works of planning the education portion of the 2017 Convention. We could use your help by providing any Houston Architect, GC and code official contacts to help us advertise the CE courses and the trade show. An email will be going out with more information very soon. 2. We just completed our first scaffold training session in Dallas with a total of 48 members receiving a certificate of attendance. The group was made up of 29 members and 19 non-members. We are looking to host similar events in Houston and Austin very soon. Special thanks to Rick Durham with EZ Wall Concentrate for coordinating this and Joe Vecera with Safway Services for providing a discounted rate to attendees. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to big things for the TLPCA in 2017 and appreciate the continued support of our members to make them a reality.
