AICI was formed with a primary goal of promoting Indians in the construction industry throughout the New York
Metro region .Since its inception, the out all the fields, Your continued support over the years have been much
appreciated. AICI this year had conducted very informative seminars for its members. Seminars were given by trade
experts in architectural woodwork and plumbing by companies of prestigious positions in their field,
such as Rimi Woodcraft Corp and Cardoza Plumbing Corp I acknowledge their efforts on behalf of members of AICI.

This year has seen some disasters of epic proportions, such as Katrina hurricane in New Orleans. Toll on human lives and properties
