Things are moving fast and faster, especially when you’ re trying to do so many things at once. We are getting into the third month of the year, the world around us has changed, some good, some not so good. On the good side our members are still working hard to keep people housed. The leadership within our association has moved forward with new projects, new committees, and new drive. Several members have taken on the tasks of setting up events, like golf. The committee made the decision to change venue, heading to Horizon Golf Course in September. We are fortunate that our Presenting Sponsor remains Haskins Electric, along with Hunt, Nusenda Credit Union, and Franklin Building Materials renewing their support. The committee will have some new twists for sponsorship opportunities. Our format is changing as we try to keep play moving while having fun. Stay tuned for more news on events and meetings. |
I wasn ' t able to attend IBS in Orlando this year. This was the last scheduled time for Orlando as the site as Las Vegas is now the official home of the NAHB IBS. Reports from this year’ s show were good, new items and processes, along with a lot of walking. Some members were worried their trip would be cancelled when the Federal government announced a tenday shutdown of all traffic in and out of ELP. Fortunately that |
order was rescinded in a few tense hours. The official cause may not be the real cause for the shutdown. We may not ever know. Just glad that those of you who did go were able to. I also would like to take a moment to thank many of you for the kind words of support and prayers of healing while I go through some medical stuff. It’ s not over but I’ m working my way through it with a lot of help. I appreciate all of you. |
