Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery

Greetings! I would like to thank all of the members who attended the January 8 meeting at Cornhusker Bank. Our speakers were Todd Calfee and Christy Puev with the Minnow Project.

Their presentation, Marketing without Breaking the Budget, gave us some great ideas, tips and tricks to use with our business marketing strategies. We had great attendance and I encourage everyone to attend our upcoming events.

Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery will be hosting After Hours on Thursday, February 13 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. I am encouraging all who attend to invite a guest or two. Food and beverages will be served as you tour the show room. This is a great way to get to interact with fellow members while getting to know an existing member’s products and services.

The other big event in February is the annual Home and Garden Show February 7, 8 and 9 at the Lancaster Event Center. The Remodeler’s Council will be having the Food Bank House again this year. Please check with Michaela at 402-423-4225 to assist with this event. You can find more Home Show details on the next page or on the new Home Show website at www.NebraskaHomeandGardenShow.com.

Thanks to everyone for your support. I look forward to seeing you at one of these next events!

2001 S. 19th Street Please send your RSVP to info@hbal.org or call 402-423-4225 by February 10.
