The event was held at the Links at Challedon in Mt. Airy, Md. "The golf course was in excellent shape and the weather was beautiful," reports chapter president Scott Neal of Abbey-Fritz Fence Co. "Congratulations to the team from Sonco – Marty Drain, Wayne Phipps, Jeff Bitner, and Andrew Hession – who turned in the best team score." Neal also said that Drain won the longest drive contest and Hession took the closest to the pin contest. "We would like to thank Alu- mi-Guard for their generous sponsorship and for providing all participants with golf towels and can coolers," Neal added.

The times and places of the reviews and exams are provided elsewhere in the FENCE- TECH preview section, but here are details on the certifications them- selves: • Certified Fence Professional (CFP). The CFP designation recog- nizes individuals who have demon- strated an ongoing commitment to quality and improving standards with- in the fence industry. It is designed for manufacturers, suppliers, owners, project managers, estimators and office personnel to ac- quire a good understanding of speci- fications, material standards and in- stallation techniques that help assure a first-class product for the customer. Re-certification is required on a three-year interval with a point system and minimum continuing education requirement.
