has to offer: education, legal, business management, safety, safety

membership, associate membership and their annual conference.
Thank you to Patrick Casey, T.F. Beck Company, for organizing the
euchre tournament on Friday evening.
Saturday’s educational seminar was presented by Crystal Mountain—

The kids also enjoyed a program of their own held on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. Hiking, crafting, laser tag, rock wall climbing,
swimming at the water park, movie and popcorn and more!
Good times and memories were made by everyone in attendance!
If you were unable to attend the “Meet MRCA” educational
session at the MiRCA Convention, their PowerPoint
