Rio Grande Co hosted an exciting Open House event on Tuesday night, January 12th, 2010. There were about 70 people that attended from many different companies including Architects, Engineers, Subcontractors and General Contractors. There were many give away items and even a drawing for 2 $50 gift cards for dinner at Maggiano's and Racine's. There were 9 vendors who set up displays and talked about their products and systems. We had the following Vendors Representatives in attendance: David Minor, Pat Lynch and Bryan Smith from US Spec, Tom Cuneio from Trenwyth, Ed Nagel with Prosoco and Mortar Net, Jack Mosley with Eldorado Stone, Shirley Schaefer and Daren Petersen from Omega, Keith Behling from Pittsburgh Corning, John Striednig and Walt Stivers from Laticrete, and Dirk Quartemont from Cooperstone. These vendors' representatives were joined by the employees of Rio Grande Co's Commercial and Residential Divisions. The food and drinks were great as we were able to spend the evening sharing stories and buildin
g relationships and talking about products and systems. We are very grateful for each of the Contractors and Architects that made time to spend with us, as well as the time and energy spent by our loyal vendors to support this event. None of this would have been possible without the support of the staff and management at Rio Grande Co. Thanks to all for a great time!! We will be having another open house on the 6th of April and look forward to that event being as successful as this one. Please let us know today if you would like to take part in this coming event. We require an RSVP to Vince Mattei at (303) 218- 6362 for all who wish to be there with us. In our next event, we will be offering AIA credits in conjunction with each of the vendors that will be participating. We will start the event at 3pm and at 3:30pm all the vendors will begin a 1 hour presentation that will allow anyone looking for AIA continuing education credits to be awarded those at the end of the presentation. We will schedule time so that it will be possible for each architect to receive 2 hours of credits from any of the participating vendors. Many of the programs also award HSW and other credits. A full list of the programs being offered will accompany the invitation which will be delivered and posted here approximately 6 weeks before the 6th of April. We look forwa
rd to seeing you there.
