January 2010 President's Message

First I would like to thank everyone for attending the Christmas party and installation banquet in December. Its great to see the involvement and concern by so many loyal members. The number of gifts for Toys for Tots and members stepping up to sponsor the evenings offerings is special to see. So thanks to everyone who gave to make the event happen.

The new year brings many challenges to all of us. Your local HBA is not immune to them either. Our membership has fallen because of the economy so we need to do what ever we can to bolster our numbers. I would like everyone to think hard on one new member they can bring into the association this year. If each one of was able to do this, it would be tremendous.

The committees have been working constantly to bring events to our members this coming year. These events help fund our organization so they are very important that they be successful. You can help your business and your association if you participate in these. The Home Show is coming up in March and has been very well attended in Hudson. The Tour of Homes is also coming up in March. This year changes have been made to allow more homes and remodels in the Tour. All registration and information can be obtained on our website or you can call Jill.

We have a couple projects being planned already for the helping hammer program that was started last year. It is a very strong statement that the association wants to give back to the community. Please help out with labor or material whenever you can.
