The ACI’s September program “What is Architectural Concrete?” was a big success. We would like to thank Larry Maes with Product Education Director for the Southern California Concrete Producers, Mary Richards with Standard Concrete Products who discussed sand & aggregate how produced & variances in materials, Mike Meier with Standard Concrete who discussed ready mix plants and how concrete made, John Bosch with Solomon Colors who discussed color concrete/how liquid color works and potential reasons for color variance in concrete, and Bruce Umeck with The L.M. Scoffield Company who discussed forming, finishing & workmanship issues, for putting on great presentations. We want to express our gratitude to all of the vendors who set up display table, without your support ACI could not put on the great educational programs we do each month. I’d also like to thank my company, T.B. Penick & Sons for allowing us to host the event at their office. Thousands of people each year attend these extended credit programs on Architectural Concrete. Those who attended it here in San Diego were lucky enough to leave the program and tour T.B. Penick’s facilities, which show cases hundreds of different types of decorative concrete products.

ACI held our annual social event on July 14 at Seau’s Restaurant. The event was a big success. We had the most diversified attendance I can remember at an ACI social event. Engineers, material suppliers, city officials, students, ready mix producers and contractors were all in attendance. We all enjoyed a beautiful San Diego night, drinks, appetizers and the Baseball All-Star game. It was a great opportunity to interact with industry professionals outside of the work environment.

I’d like to remind everyone of the abundance of information that ACI makes available to our members. Please take time to visit our local chapter’s website at www.aci-sandiego.org and national’s website at www.concrete.org.
