Maine Aggregate Association

Maine Aggregate Association's 5th Annual Marlee Johnston Memorial Golf Tournament will be held at the Meadows Golf Course in Litchfield, Maine on July 19th, 2010. The tournament provides needed monies for the Marlee Fund which supports programs that provide scholarships and opportunities for young people from Fayette and nearby communities at the Kents Hill Shcool. The fund was started in loving memory of Ted Johnston and Marlene Thibodeau's daughter, Marlee, who was known for her effervescent personality, concern for others, love of learning and enthusiasm for life. Come join the fun and support a good cause.

To assist its members in their continuing commitment to the communities they serve, Maine Aggregate Association is placing an order through Aggregates Manager for coloring books and workbooks as learning tools to teach children about the aggregates industry. These books can be used as handouts by your company personnel at school visitations, at company functions, such as open house events, company picnics and parties, and community affairs.

By pooling our order we can get a quantity price reduction. Please use the Pre-Order form at the bottom to indicate your interest and the number of books you want. Price each - $1.10

See the attached order to place your order by April 30, 2010.
