Patriots of Praise is another organization I believe in a lot.Wounded US Veterans, Gold star family members, or active duty military is given the opportunity to Hunt Pheasants and hear a testimony about how God has changed lives.It helps those who have sacrificed for us time to refocus, enjoy life, and is just a good time. My dad was on the MRCA Board of Directors four or five years ago, and that started my interest in becoming more active in MRCA.Its only been the last few years since my kids have been grown that Ive had the time to dedicate myself more to our association. I believe that the MRCA offers contractors an advantage over competitors and sets the standard for the industry.The impact of the resources offered to our members is substantial. Im proud to be a part of it.MRCA would like to recognize and share our gratitude to Haines, and the employees of Roofmasters Roofing & Sheet Metal Co., Inc. for their generosity at the MRCA Foundation Auction for donating the Hunting Trip and for their sizable contribution of $5,000, to help with the Foundations mission to fund industry research, industry education, and scholarships!
