President’s Message Beau Daffer, HBAL President

Fall is finally here! It was great to see so many of you at Roca Berry Farm for Family Night.

The response and attendance exceeded expectations and the weather was amazing!

As the calendar flips from October to November, it becomes a very busy season and there are a lot of things to put on your calendar. The first one is the general election on November 5. It is very important we exercise our rights, so please make sure to vote!

The next one is the HBAL partnership with the Santa Cop program. This is on November 9th. We would love to see a great turnout by our membership to support this. It is a great opportunity to bring the whole family and help with the different parts of the project. This has always been well supported by our membership.

Finally, our Holiday Party is December 3. It will be Casino Night so brush up on your blackjack skills and join us. Please make sure to RSVP and we hope to see you all there!

I will leave you with some words of encouragement: Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you.

I will never abandon you.”

Hebrews 13:5

Remodelers Council

November Meeting Publication of the Remodelers Council of Lincoln November 2024 • Vol. 27, No. 11

The holiday season is approaching. I look forward to this joyous time and getting together with friends and family.

I just attended a peer roundtable meeting with other Jason Willet remodelers from all Remodelers Council over the country.

Chairperson We talked about our companies, team members, future goals and struggles. It is an exceptional resource for us. I encourage everyone to have a support team to help you step back, think and hold us accountable – outside of the day-to-day. Your team deserves to have great leadership from you and accountability starts at the top.

So, as you close out this year, think of someone you can ask to be a sounding board and be the person to hold you accountable. Most people are more than happy to help if you ask.

We are looking forward to touring CenterPointe's rennovation of Trabert Hall on November 6. Then, the Holiday Party will feature Music Bingo at the HBAL office on December 11. I hope to see you there!
