Talk to me
about the everyday operation. In terms of
your membership, what sort of numbers are
you at right now and how has that changed
recently?
MICHAEL BELLAMAN:
The
downturnhas hit the construction industry.
Even off-peak, depending on what market
you look at, the industry is down 30 to 70

membership has been fairly solid; it has not
seen the decreases that would be equivalent
to those kinds of declines. We currently
have about 21,000 members but, at the
industry’s peak, it was about 24,000
