Lots of Green at CATT Mixer
Michael Ellis (Reno Truss) and Audrey Smith (True Green Roofing Solutions).
T
he color green was everywhere at the March 13 CATT Mixer hosted by Kelly Brothers Painting—even the treats had green touches! More than 100 people attended this event which started with a ribbon-cutting to mark the grand opening of the new office/workshop of Kelly Brothers Painting on Trails End Court in Truckee. The CATT early bird renewal drawing for the 51 inch flat screen HDTV was held with Jones Corda Construction winning the TV. Playing off the St. Patrick’s Day theme, Kelly Brothers offered $50 cash for the best dressed in the “Wearin’ of the Green” contest. Winners were Michael Ellis (Reno Truss) and six-year old Lola Barta (daughter of Grant Barta with new CATT member company Tahoe Print Shop). This Mixer was also the scene of a raffle fundraiser for C.A.T.T. Community Project, CATT’s charitable sister organization. The raffle was
Lola Barta (Tahoe Print Shop) in her winning outfit.
