Michael’s Caffe, at 12:30.
The Fly Ash Seminar is filling up fast, so, if you have not already made your reservations, you should call Sandy at the Yavapai County Contractor’s Association at 778-0040. And remember - all AIA members get their lunch paid for. ( Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?)
