The Remodelers Council’s “Builders & Burritos” at The Career Academy (TCA) was well received by both members and TCA staff and students. We are already planning for next year’s event, which will be expanded to include students in all construction pathways.
As I’m writing this, the Home Show is just days away. 29 of our Remodelers Council members have booths at the Show. If you aren’t exhibiting, I encourage you to use the VIP ticket that was mailed to all HBAL members and stop by the Show Friday afternoon. Making connections is important in our industry and this would be a great time to visit with fellow members and learn about the products and services they offer.
You may have noticed there was no sign-up to volunteer at the Food Bank House at the Home Show this year. After 20+ years and countless woodscrews, it was time to retire the House. Although you won’t see the wheelbarrows rolling back and forth at the Show, our support will continue, as HBAL will be donating 10% of ticket sales to the Food Bank of Lincoln this year. We have collected over 93,000 pounds of food since the Food Bank House was started in 2003. If you ever helped with putting up the House or taking it down, or if you volunteered to haul wheelbarrows full of canned food during the Show, “Thank you.”
Please join us for a Remodelers Council Happy Hour on Tuesday, February 18 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm at Venue Lounge. We will resume our regular meetings in March with a tour of the new fire station at 17th & Van Dorn Streets. Look for more details in the next Business Builder.
