From Gerald Sloan, Craft Training and Safety Director, DMI Tile and Marble

"We enjoyed the opportunity to showcase our apprentice students in this community project, meeting the people from other crafts and meeting the homeowners. The hospitality and good will were wonderful. D.M.I. was given an opportunity to give our valuable service of tile installation and in return made many friends."


From Jim Isaminger, President, DMI Tile and Marble

"We were happy to help with this community project. We have been blessed with a tool to train our employees, providing them a career path for skill development."
