President’s Message Lori Wellman, HBAL President

Summer is here and it’s going to be a HOT one! We had a beautiful day for the HBAL golf tournament. We had over 220 golfers participate and raised almost $10,000 for the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who helped with cooking the food, any other parts of organizing the tournament and those of you who had teams to support this event.

Contracts are now available for the Fall Parade of Homes. If you are a builder with a home for sale and are looking for a way to market your business, I highly recommend participating. The deadline for advertising and entering a home in the Parade is July 28.

Our next event will be the HBAL Family Fun Night at Sun Valley Lanes. The deadline for reserving your tickets to the event is July 14.

There will be many fun activities for all ages to enjoy.

Have a Safe and Happy 4th of July!

Remodelers Council

Publication of the Remodelers Council of Lincoln July 2023 • Vol. 26, No. 7

July is here and it is hot!

The summer is one of the best times for remodeling for our customers.

Summer vacation time is in full swing, the house can be open to let the breeze blow out the drywall dust.

We had a great event Ben Klein with our picnic at Remodelers Council Antelope park. It was so Chairperson much fun to get to talk with other Remodelers Council Members and create relationships with each other. I enjoy the days of talking with other business people in our group. We have learned to help and depend on each other for advice on how to run our businesses in good times and in bad.

This group has been a great experience and asset to our company, and I hope it has been the same for all of yours. We are all busy, but taking the time to be involved in the community and Remoders Council is just as important as the day to day operations we all have.

We do not have any events scheduled for the month of July, but be prepared for the Remodelers Council golf tournament August 18th at Holmes Golf Course. This is such a fun event with prizes, raffles and games along the golf course. Please come and join us for a great time!
