April President's Report

As we get closer to the official construction season, we find ourselves looking back at the first quarter of 2009. By now we should have some indication of how the year will accommodate your specific trace, company or individual job.

There is still time to make sue of some tools available, allowing working professionals and business owners a leg up on the competition. Your NAHB affiliation allows access to a great resource - The NAHB Book Store. A great read for everyone is “The Five Laws That Determine All of Life’s Outcomes”. Other recommendations I have, but have not read are, “Who Moved My Cheese”, and “Bowling Alone”. It’s hard to argue against any form of self improvement, new sales secrets and methods or time management.

I hope everyone had a chance to visit or participate in our Home & Remodeling Show event that was held at the Hudson Sports & Civic Center on March 14-15, 2009. Your Home Show Committee deserves a special “thank you” for all of their hard work and dedication. It was very impressive to witness the organization and efficiency shown by this group of volunteers as vendors started moving in on setup day.

Please take time to personally thank each of these fine volunteers:
Committee Chair: Cheryl Ross, Amazing Space, Inc.
Meme Fehr, Sandeen Insurance
Bill Gautsche, Pella Windows & Doors
Tommy Helmer, Helmer Printing, Inc.
Gaylen & Vicky Livingston, Lucas Electric, LLC
Tim Nelson, Bank Mutual

SHINE IN 2009!!!
