EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S MESSAGE Executive Officer’s February Message MELISSA OLSON The last weekend of February, we sponsored our 40th Annual Cedar Rapids Home Show at Hawkeye Downs. Despite the cold weather, thousands of visitors attended the show to see the latest products and services displayed by exhibitors to assist them in building and improving their home and yard. Thank you to our members that participated in the show; as well as those from our community that attended. We were present at the Home Show to distribute our 2019 Membership Directory to the community. The GCRHBA is the one-stop resource for consumers looking for LOCAL trusted building, home improvement and service professionals, FREE referrals, reputable members and peace of mind. The directory is a comprehensive annual member directory our members and community can use as a reliable and local resource throughout the year for all their housing & building needs. If you would like a directory, please contact our office. A very special thank you to Lydia Barger, Judith Cobb, James Hoth, Beth Lillis-Genkinger, Mark Sillman, and Dean Spina for your assistance helping with this task. And congratulations to our winner, Jordyn Redman, on winning a $100 Visa gift card from BankIowa. Our next community event is right around the corner! Our Spring 2019 Parade of Homes begins April 27 through May 5. Mark your calendars now as we have some beautiful homes for you to tour! On Friday night after the Home Show, we held the BankIowa 2019 Home Show Reception. We had approximately 100 exhibitors stop over and join us for pizza and beer. Thank you to BankIowa and our Supporting Sponsors for making this event possible. Our next members only networking event, Shamrock Shenanigans, hosted by KBD, will be held on March 14. KBD will be providing green beer, delicious food and fun networking with other GCRHBA members. Networking events are excellent opportunities to grow your connections and potentially lead to new business, so I hope to see everyone there!
