Index Studs, Struts & Stilettos........................... 2 News from the President.......................... 3

Well I think Spring has finally sprung!

RAB Golf Outing......................................... 4

The Spring Showcase of Homes was a big success. I talked to many of you and was even able to stop by a few showcase homes and was thrilled to see the number of people out and about looking and getting ideas. From those I spoke to that had a home or homes in the Showcase, the traffic was really good and the beautiful weather was helpful getting people excited for summer!

Public Works Dept. News.......................... 6

For those of you who wanted something to do on Thursday, April 21st, hopefully you remembered Studs, Struts and Stilettos which took place at the Mayo Civic Center Auditorium. There was a pre-party that started at 5:00pm at the Cambria Gallery and then the festivities moved over to the Mayo Civic Center Auditorium. It started off with a cocktail hour at 7:00pm and the fashion show started at 8:00pm. The party continued at the Cambria Gallery after the show was done with an After-Party starting at 9:30pm. I sure hope you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on this spectacular event! A special thank you to those committee members who have taken the time out of their busy schedules to make sure the Spring Showcase of Homes, as well as the Studs, Struts and Stilettos events are big successes for everyone involved. THANK YOU!!! Warmly,

Building Towards Cleaner Water Clean water is important to all of us. From recreational activities such as fishing and water skiing to everyday uses including bathing and drinking, we all need water. Each of us has a responsibility to do what we can to keep our water resources clean for future generations. Are you doing everything you can at your construction sites to protect our water by preventing litter? Each year during the Help Make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! event, litter from construction sites is reported by volunteers throughout the city. Let this be the year you make a commitment to keeping your site litter-free each and every day. Use this checklist as a reminder of what you can do to “build towards cleaner water.”  Place litter collection containers in convenient locations around the site for ease of disposal.  Keep dumpsters, roll-offs, and other containers covered at all times to prevent litter from escaping.  Check these containers regularly to make sure they are not overfilled. Order additional dumpsters or request more frequent collection if overfilling is an issue.  Bag and tie up loose items before throwing them in a container.  Use snow fencing around construction or demolition sites to prevent debris from blowing into other areas.  Use a tarp or net when hauling materials in an open pickup truck or trailer. This prevents safety hazards as well roadside litter.  Smokers should use an ashtray, receptacle or a portable pocket ashtray to prevent “butt” litter …the #1 littered item in the U.S.  Routinely walk the site and collect loose items and debris that may have escaped.  Communicate with your staff, vendors, and subcontractors about their personal responsibility for a clean and safe working environment. Discuss proper disposal methods and locations of disposal areas.  Participate in this year’s A Litter Bit Better! event: o Pick a date between April 23-30 o Pick a location and register as an individual or group at www.RNeighbors.org/litterbitbetter o Pick up litter at your registered site during A Litter Bit Better! week It is up to all of us to do our part to prevent litter in our community. Please take the time to keep your construction sites clean and help make Rochester A Litter Bit Better!
