Chairperson’s Message by Molly Johnson
I hope everyone was able to view the projects showcased on the Tour of Remodeled Homes. It’s a great way for members to display their work and talent. It’s also a great opportunity for homeowners to get ideas for their own projects and get motivated to start remodeling! I hope great leads and future jobs are created for the members who had projects in the Tour.

TP Run!
Bring Toilet Paper, Toothbrushes, Soap, Other Necessities to HBAL through June 29. The Remodelers Council is having its fifth TP Run (Toilet Paper Run) to help the clients of the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC). These clients are on fixed incomes, and after rent and medical expenses, often are left with very little money for the basic necessities. And, with a decline in the amount of items given from the Center for People in Need, donations from the Remodelers Council of Lincoln are even more helpful than ever before. Items that would be greatly appreciated by CMHC & its clients: • Toilet paper • Laundry soap • Shampoo • Toothpaste • Sanitary products for women • Bar soap for men • Bath gel soap for women • Cleaning supplies • Poly-grip Please pick up an extra roll of toilet paper or bar of soap on your next shopping trip, and drop it by the HBAL office before June 29. Thanks for helping to take care of our community!
