CONGRATULATIONS!
Last evening was a wonderful time of recognition, fellowship and networking. My congratulations to you and your staff for making this happen. The Michigan Masonry Awards is a wonderful tribute to the owners, architects and builders throughout the state and is something every architect awaits the award winners to garner new inspiration. Many have participated at one time or another, pending on the projects in their office that are deemed worthy. We appreciate the efforts put forth by MIM and the long association MIM and AIA/MI has had. We only want to strengthen our shared interests and mutual respect and look forward to many more years of cooperation.
After hearing the comments at last night’s affair I am sure word of mouth will only promote the event in future years and strengthen our association with MIM. I heard nothing but positive remarks and this will be a format I will strongly encourage AIA to look at for our Awards Program. Your staff did an outstanding job and, as far as I could see, things came off with out a hitch. Please share my congratulations with them and with your Board.
You proved that one should never waste the opportunity of a good crisis. The ‘reinventing’ for the event hit the mark. Congratulations.
