Meridan Pacific Sales hosted a joint CRA/ARA of CA meeting Thursday, May 24, 2018, at their main location in Sacramento, CA. The function was well attended and enjoyed by over 80 rental folks. The evening included equipment displays by several CRA and ARA members. Tom Hughes from Hometown Rentals, the ARA Region 9 Director, made several announcements. Tom spoke about upcoming functions, including the THE RENTAL SHOW, which will be held in Anaheim, Feb. 17-20, 2019. An announcement was also made about the "ARA Shoot," an event to be held at the Coyote Valley Sporting Clays facility in Morgan Hill. The shoot will be followed by a bar-b-que dinner at the A Tool Shed location, also in Morgan Hill. Tom announced his two replacement candidates for Region 9: CRA members Tony Murray from American Rentals and Tony Wright from Celebrations Party Rentals. Tom also introduced long-time CRA member Robert Pedersen from A Tool Shed, who has been nominated to run for the position of President of the ARA.
