Reserve the date: April 5 Dinner Gala at "The New MFA!"

At the end of November, the Museum of Fine Arts will celebrate the grand opening of "The New MFA" with imposing new galleries for the display of Asian and American Art. This extraordinary expansion project has been under construction for more than four years, and we are proud to say much of the specialty trade work has been performed by ASM member companies - including Archer Corp., Chapman Waterproofing, The Cheviot Corp., Ipswich Bay Glass, JC Cannistraro, J & M Brown, Kenneth Castellucci and Associates, Mark Richey Woodworking, M.L. McDonald, Phoenix Bay State Construction, Soep Painting Corp., T.J. McCartney, and William M. Collins Co. ASM hosted an event at "the old MFA" just as the project was getting started in 2006, and we look forward to returning on April 5, 2011 for a grand event that celebrates the completion of the project and the role of ASM members, and also marks the transition to new leadership at the Association, with the election of officers and directors. The 2006 event at the MFA was our most popular event ever, and our 2010 return is sure to be even more so. Mark the date now and make plans to join us on April 5 at the New MFA!

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
