LMC, the Pennsylvania-based lumber and building materials cooperative, proudly marked its 90th anniversary with a special event honoring the employees and dealers who have fueled nine decades of growth and success.
The event at LMC’s Headquarters brought together staff with members from across the country. Two notable guests were Dave Reichert from Davis-Hawn in Dallas, Texas, and Nate Miller from Miller Building Supply in Goshen, Indiana. These men and their families traveled with a smoker in tow to prepare barbecue lunch.
Together, they spent over 24 hours preparing the meat and providing other treats such as homemade ice cream. Their generosity showed the spirit of partnership that defines the LMC network. Staff also enjoyed connecting with Dave and Nate’s team members on both business and personal levels.
Nate commented, “We are so thankful for what LMC means to us and what we can give back to them in return. LMC has been an incredible partner for our business, and this is just a small way to show our appreciation for everything they do for us.”
The celebration also featured the LMC Rocks Band, comprised entirely of LMC staff members from across all departments. A highlight was band member Bob Bryan, LMC’s longest-tenured employee, who recently retired after 50 years of service in the mailroom but returned to perform in the spirit of LMC’s 90 years.
Paul Ryan, LMC CEO & President, noted “Our employees and dealers are the reason LMC has thrived for nine decades. We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but we’re even prouder of the people who have shaped our journey. This event represents what LMC is about at our core: building business together. To be alongside our staff and dealers
celebrating this milestone is exactly what the cooperative spirit has always been about.”
