July 2010 President's Message


The year is almost half over and hopefully most of us are still hanging on. By all accounts and by many of the forecaster’s we should be experiencing much better times than we are. They seem to be no better than the weather forecasters. It is just another reason why each of us has to take control of our own business and plan for our own future.

I haven’t see the results from the fishing tournament but the weather was great and I’m sure the fish stories were equally as good.

The golf outing is coming up on July 19, and hopefully everyone will be able to join us for a fun day with lots of socializing and great networking opportunities. (see invitation inside this edition for more information)

One of our Helping Hammers project is almost complete thanks to Tim Tryba, Arrow Building Center-River Falls, and his endless efforts to get a shed built for Turning Point. See more pictures of this project inside this edition of the newsletter as well as on our Face Book page.

The political campaigning is heating up with some very good candidates that could help change the business climate in our state in a very positive way. Take the time to learn more about them and get involved in anyway you can to ensure that the building industry is protected in the future. I know that some of you may think that the association is too political, but we all must be aware of what is going on at the state capitol in regards to our industry...please do your part by getting involved. Thank you.
