Chairperson’s Message by Heidi Polacek

Fall is officially here and so is football! Well, kind of. The kids are back in their new school routine. Change is hard. Fall is a great reminder that change can be beautiful. I hope you’re able to see the good things that have come through the changes we’ve had to make in the last few months.

I was disappointed to have missed last month’s tour of the Sunken Gardens. From the photos, it looked amazing and it was nice to see so many of your familiar faces! Our next meeting will be Wednesday, October 7 at the HBAL office. Whitney Korger will be sharing her tips on how to best photograph your projects to use for marketing. There will be plenty of room to spread out at the HBAL office, however if you would like to attend virtually, please let Jennie Korth know, and she’ll get you set up to watch the presentation from the comfort of your home or office. 24  Lincoln Business Builder
