March 2010 Message Center

Note to Team leaders from Don:
A quick phone call to 561-310-9902 to sign up for google docs is best. Local area chairs can send me a list of names and emails to make sure everyone is signed up. Every email has to have an account open and accessible to google Docs. Thanks in advance for your help. don@floridamasonry.com

Note to Team leaders from Joyce:
Please be sure to use the new spreadsheet posted on google docs that was reviewed at the last teleconference to record your area's bucket listing breakdown. Remember to record details from any conversions on the bottom of the page. I will continue to track Bucket #3 details on your blogs, if you include me in your team e-mails. Should you need additional comments added to your areas below, please forward to me at joyce@floridamasonry.com

Other promotional activities
Dave Luebs plans to use his new Scholarship Committee position to meet the right folks at USF and keep masonry in front of them. The MCAF Tampa Bay chapter has for many years handed out 2 $1,000 scholarships to deserving students as selected by our local committee annually. The student must be enrolled in the USF School of Architecture.
Follow-up 3-3-2010 Bob DiPietro 813-299-3801 2-10-2010 spoke with John Holt of Reynolds / Smith / Hill regarding Ritchie Elemetary (Pasco County School). He is very interested in listening to us. The project is currently in master planning and premature for an accurate CMU cost comparison based on the current drawings. This is RSH first Pasco School project and is interested in looking at cost comparisons between CMU and tilt-up. Pasco School Board decisions on past schools to go tilt-up was strictly cost driven. mailto:bdipietro@fsscompany.com.

13 new Projects-1 qualified. 131 total/51 qualified. Gaining momentum. 11-Bucket#3. March 10th L&L Miami project from February. FIU/Stempel Complex Bucket #3-Perkins & Will. Working on committing new members including a an additional committee chair and members for the Miami area.

Local Meeting has been postponed; too many people on vacation and lack of responses. Will try again at a later date. Updates requested for conference call on Monday, April 5th – on this call, all the progress of each team member is addressed and the project tracking scorecard is updated.

New project assignments from February, 2010 have been delegated. There are still many prior months unqualified projects. The SE and Miami tabs which each names highlighted in yellow under column “N”. The columns that need to be filled in on each project are highlighted in green:

Bucket Number, Column “D”
Entry Date, Column “O”
ProMasonry Comment & Follow Up, Column “P”

Our main goals are to contact every project and determine which bucket they fall into. On bucket 3’s, since a structural wall decision has not been made, they need the most attention – our goal there is to set up an appointment to discuss masonry. Project's on hold will be determined to be “dead” or just on “hold”. If it’s on hold, a good time frame to follow up again (6 months, 1 year, etc).

BUCKET 1 – IS MASONRY OR LIKELY TO BE MASONRY
BUCKET 2 – ALREADY DESIGNED OR WILL BE DESIGNED IN OTHER THAN MASONRY (STEEL, WOOD, TILT)
BUCKET 3 – NOT DECSION ON THE STRUCTURAL WALLS HAS BEEN MADE
BUCKET 4 – THE PROJECT IS EITHER DEAD OR ON HOLD

Message: March 17-5:00 PM prior to General meeting

12 Projects are in the process of being assigned. Participation of team members on google docs is sporatic. Rocky will discuss a group meeting and will be adding some new committee members.

All team members should have their google account established. The list for January 31, 2010 has been distributed to all: Andrew Ryan, Charles Wallin, Don Zuhr, Jay Snyder, Lenny Faulkner, JohnRehrer, Ronnie Blom, Chris Bettinger, Wally Dayem with a plan to make the calls and update the google docs prior to our next Promasonry reporting conference call on March 9th. Refer to Google Docs for recent activity. Strong consideration to “cold calling” the architectural firms scheduling “lunch & learns” for any masonry topic in addition to trying to get a dialog going about a specific project to a specific person.
