Clark Branum, Decorative & Polished Concrete Specialist The Voice Newsletter January 2024

Well let’s start by saying Happy New Year to everyone! It’s been such a busy year, a lot of changes in the ASCC and even for us personally. Now that Christmas and New Years is over, we can look to the year ahead. World of Concrete is just a a couple of weeks away, so a lot of us are preparing for the show. This year, the ASCC is sponsoring a Polished Concrete Luncheon, the ASCC Kick off bash, and the DCC/CPC Experience. Of course, there will be committee meetings and gatherings throughout the week. We are also sponsoring the ACI Decorative Finisher Exam class on Monday. So, if you need to get certified, be sure to get registered! For those of us who are exhibitors, there is a lot of planning and preparation for the booths. For those of you who will not attend the show, welcome to winter. I hope you can find some sunshine someplace in your schedule. If not, it’s time to review your cold weather placement practices, get out the blankets and curing membranes. A lot of people look for sunny places to spend off time in the winter, my wife and I tend to look for snowy places, like Whitefish, Montana. We will spend a few days there right after the WOC show in February, to do a little skiing. Wherever you go and wherever you are, we hope you stay safe and productive. Hope to see you all at the show.
