Chairperson’s Message by Lori Pippitt
The seasons have begun to change, our days are shorter, our nights are getting cooler and leaves are starting to fall from the trees. Much like the leaves, interest rates for homes keep falling and are at record lows. Now is a great time to refinance, lower your payments and put that money back into a home renovation! Many current owners are taking advantage of the tax credits and are replacing windows, doors and upgrading insulation. Others are reinvesting their equity into a master bathroom, kitchen or basement finishing project. Unfinished or needed home improvements are at the forefront of people’s minds and we can only hope their pocketbooks as well! Mark your calendars for our next meeting on October 6. We will be having a quick lunch at Valentino’s on 35th and Holdrege followed by a tour of Keim Hall on East Campus. Keim Hall recently underwent two years of renovations, which earned them a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design certification from the US Green Building Council. The green efforts on this project included diverting 81% of construction waste away from the landfill and 20% of materials used on the renovations were of recycled content! Last month I was honored to attend the Better Business Bureau Integrity Award Luncheon. On behalf of the Lincoln Remodelers Council, I accepted the BBB Integrity Award. It is the integrity of what our association stands for and the reputations of how you, our members are serving the community, which won us this prestigious award! Give yourself a pat on the back!!!
