Lisa Pelham assigned new projects for March for both Polk/Tampa. Projects were reassigned that had no activity from team. There is a L&L scheduled in Orlando that Lisa is facilitating. 2 other projects/Allison Willmeng and Bob Pietro that are pending for L&L's. Consideration is being given to assign a specific person to schedule bucket #2/#3 appointments. Some team members continue to be challenged by google docs. Dave Luebs is participating through CSI and networking responsibilities and is working on a Pasco County School Board project. Continued conversation on BIM modeling and interface with masonry in the Tampa/architect role. Request for sample commercial comparison to use in promotion.

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.

Message: Excel sheet with new project assignments from Jan 31st 2010 have been sent to the team. Results from the Dec 31st 2009 will be e-mailed or updated to Google Docs. Some Dec 31st projects are now reassigned. Columns to be completed on each project are:

  • Bucket Number
  • Entry Date
  • ProMasonry Comment & Follow Up

    Our main goals are to contact every project and determine buckets and set appointments for bucket 3’s. Determination of projects as “dead” or just on “hold”

  • For those who saw Team USA put the Olympic Gold Medal Hockey match into overtime with less than 30 seconds yet – never give up…..no matter the outcome.

    If you haven’t already, please finish calling the projects that were assigned to each of you and updating columns “D”, “O”, “P” and “N” of each project.

    New projects will be arriving any day now and a conference call with the MAF ProMasonry Board is scheduled for Mar 9th for project updates

Message: February 17-5:30 PM prior to General meeting-Complete

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. Please post updates by Monday the 8th. 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.

Message/Tallahassee:

Message/Gainesville: The NC group has not had a meeting as the MAF meeting last month was cancelled. They have been working by phone and e-mail. The NC google docs page is updated. Most jobs have been classified and quite a few are dead. Contact was made with Ricardo Cavallino who is the AIA Gainesville president. We have had an informal meeting and discussed doing a presentation at one of the AIA upcoming meetings. He was sent a flyer with discussion points and he will bring it before the group and let us know what dates they have available. We have noted 2 jobs where we would like Don’s help.
