 There were SO Many Great Photos - Click here to see them all!!  | Another GREAT SBMA Summer Meeting! The Southern Building Material Association held its annual Summer Conference July 31- August 3 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Approximately 325 people attended, 90 were children. Buford Arning, ECMD, not only sponsored the breakfast Saturday morning, but once again, brought 200 ears of corn for dinner Thursday night – and he and his family shucked it for us. Buford also brought tomatoes for Thursday night. (picture of Buford and family shucking corn) Friday brought a morning of sports or just enjoying the hospitality room and each other. We had our annual golf tournament, tennis, Sea fishing trip and our sandcastle building tournament. That evening adults enjoyed cocktails while looking at the exhibits (43 in all). The children had their own parties – Veggie Tales for the younger crowd and the older ones had a Build-a-Bike - Battle of the Tricycles. Saturday evening brought the closing events with a reception, dinner, dancing and a casino night for the adults. The younger children built a bear while the older ones had a Wii party & Dance Dance Revolution. We welcomed our new board members and thanked the outgoing ones for all their service.
