Steve Cromity Jr. Assoc. AIA, MPA & Michael Spain, PhilaNOMA Past President, had the honor of representing PhilaNOMA at the 2018 MLK Day of Service hosted by ACE Mentor Program and GBCA to participate in the planter building at the Francis J Myers Recreation Center .
" Working with my fellow past president Mike’s Spain, we successfully built a 5 x 4 elevated wood planter with the help of other volunteers and our designated Carpenter. It was nice to donate a little bit of my time and sharpen some of my carpentry skills. Always a pleasure to be of service and to represent PhilaNOMA."  Steve Cromity Jr.
