On October 12, 2018, the RCI Georgia Chapter held its annual Stanley Gerson Memorial Golf Outing. The tournament is held in memory of Stanley Gerson, a long-time member of RCI Georgia and coordinator of golf outings. Gerson passed away suddenly in 2013. This year the coordinator’s torch was passed from Joe Morgalis of Williamson Associates to James Hoag, the Carlisle rep at CRS Supply. The tournament was held at the Heritage Golf Links in Tucker, GA. Sixty players participated in the tournament. With a team score of 52, the guys from Peachstate Roofing took the day. The weather was sunny and clear with a high of around 75, a perfect day for golf. A great time was had by all.

The So Cal Chapter of RCI, Inc. and the Orange County Chapter of CSI (OCCCSI) were pleased to host their annual joint technical dinner meeting on October 9, 2018, at The Phoenix Club in Anaheim, CA.
The event kicked off with a social hour of great networking among approximately 40 attendees between the two chapters, while they enjoyed some refreshing beverages and delicious buffet offerings. The chapters also had some featured costumes on display from guests who brought their Halloween spirit, which included guest speaker John A. Raeber, independent architectural specifications writer. Raeber’s presentation provided key guidance on how to write effective project specifications that are clear, concise, complete, and correct. He made clear the importance of understanding the intent of contract documents so the audience could appreciate how specs should be implemented during construction, and conversely, what specs are not intended to do. Raeber also illustrated the various formats used when working with primary spec writers while also highlighting contrasts between design-build versus designated design approaches. Lastly, he closed out his presentation on what is and isn’t important in regards to submittals, listing system manufacturers, and substitutions. The presentation concluded with a Q and A session with great audience participation.
The joint meeting was a success as attendees earned one hour of continuing education approved by RCI and AIA. The chapter thanks John A. Raeber for his well-informed presentation, and extends their appreciation to the So Cal RCI tabletop sponsorships from Robert Larez with Axis Building Envelope Design and Chris Tuzzeo with Hydro-Gard. The So Cal RCI Chapter would also like to thank their friends over at the OCCCSI for another great event in the books.
