Remodelers Council Chairperson’s Message by Jeff Bielenberg
Well, the year seems to have passed by fairly quickly for me. It’s hard to believe the time is approaching when I’ll pass the “Hammer” I received from Molly last year to AnDee Harris, your 2014 Remodelers Council Chairperson. I know AnDee will be a lot of fun! I want to thank everyone for their attendance to our meetings and am grateful for your participation. What a successful year of meetings! Hopefully you found them to be fun and eventful! Our Remodelers Council needs all of you to help make our community aware of your commitment to the professional industry so they can trust us to be in their homes and rely on us for our expertise! I want to say “Thank you” again to Tara Stingley, employment law attorney with Cline, Williams, Wright, Johnson and Oldfather for speaking to our members last month. She covered a lot of tips that helped clarify issues relating to employer/employee relationships. We’re grateful when fellow members give their time to speak and educate us. Opportunities for continued education are always appreciated! We’ll end this year with our Christmas Party on December 4 at Parker’s Smokehouse. We’ll enjoy good conversation, a game of BINGO, prizes and the completion of this year’s “Road to Success” poster of all those pictures submitted by our talented members. In the Spirit of Christmas, we’re asking you to bring your donations of hats, mittens and gloves! Your donations will be given to a few of Lincoln’s elementary schools to help those who need them. Supporting our community whatever way we can helps make it a better place for all of us! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
