PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
October 2018 Presidents Message
MIKE FARR
Thank you for your membership and participation!
Are you looking for workers? Kirkwood has
students that are looking for internships and jobs
as they graduate. Contact the HBA office or Kirkwood
about finding a student!
Look through this issue and see our 2nd honorary
member! Please reach out and congratulate
them for their time and service to our association!
Our annual meeting in November will not only
honor the 2 honorary members, but also our normal
awards, plus 2 additional new awards! We are
also going to acknowledge our Spike members.
So Spikes, we will have a special gift for you, if
you attend this meeting! We are also kicking off a
new membership drive. Look for the details in an
upcoming email from Melissa!
On Wednesday, October 31st, we are going to
have a “burn the mortgage luncheon.” It will be
at the HBA office and we will be serving hamburgers
and brats. Costumes are optional! Hope to see
you there to help us celebrate this big event!
We are in the middle of our Parade of Homes!
If you haven’t already done so, I hope that you
have a chance to get out and see the spectacular
work done by our members!
Please get us feedback on our new THRESH-
OLD and website! We have an afterhours meeting
a Suburban Lumber this month. I hope to see
many of you there!
Take Care,
Mike Farr, President, Greater Cedar Rapids
