April Meeting
As I write this, it is hard to believe we are nearly through the first quarter of 2017. April brings the early signs of spring and reminds us that warmer weather is on its way.

Last month, we toured the new Cornhusker Bank at 84th and O Street and I was struck by how the entire building was filled with natural light. I even thought that, if I were a banker, I would enjoy working in such a pleasant space!
SCC’s Building Construction Technology Program Speaker: Ron Petsch
April also ushers in the annual Tour of Remodeled Homes, this year on April 29 and 30. I’ve always felt the Tour is the best way to showcase your actual work. Pictures are nice, but nothing can take the place of the hands-on, in-person viewing afforded by the Tour. Consumer confidence is on the rise and, hopefully, that will translate into a very successful Tour for all of our entries. Stop by and support your fellow members if you have the time!
SCC’s Building Construction Technology program is a sixquarter (18-month) program. Students are on campus participating in lecture/lab courses during all six quarters of their instruction. A key component of the program is building a new house from the planning stages to the final finishing touches. Since the first house was constructed decades ago, students in the program have built more than 90 homes.
This month, Ron Petsch will join us at the HBAL office on April 5 to speak about SCC’s Building Construction Technology Program. We are already facing a shortage of skilled labor in the construction trades, and as the economy grows, that shortage will grow as well. Join us for lunch and hear how SCC’s program is training its students for our industry’s future.
