president’smessageMay is here and the warm days of summer can’t be far behind. We sure had a hot time at the auction. We raised $4,400 for the PAC fund beating our goal and having a lot of fun. I can’t Thank You all enough for the donations and the participation. It was great. Ryan Hyer may have missed his calling. There is a future in auctioneering for him. Thanks to Rich Mead and his wife for all their work. You did a great job. Next month we get to elect new members to our board of directors and give scholarships to some very impressive young people. We will have a special guest. I have asked Mayor Mark Halverson to join us and speak on local issues. The most important thing we are going to do in May will be our membership drive. If you haven’t thought about it, now is the time to call that perspective member and ask them why not. May 6th and 7th we will be at Lowes by the contractor desk. Ask them to stop in and pick up an application. If you need help explaining the benefits of membership, let Kathy Staack or me know and we will help or get you someone who will. I hope the economy continues to improve and we can look at successful year. Don’t forget to see Pam Zinda for tickets to “Golden Sands Night At The Races.” There are a few left.
Thanks, John

AUCTION NIGHT ExCEEDS GOAL!The annual Auction Night was a success thanks to all who gave so generously. We set a new record for GSHBA for the Build A Better Wisconsin fund raiser.
I want to thank all of you who graciously took my call and showed me such kindness.
Special thanks to the following:
Tom Girolamo who saved the day by delivering and setting up the auction items, Ryan Hyer and Aaron Cordy for a great auctioneering team, Pam Zinda, Ernie Eckindorf, Bev Royer, Pam Jewell, Jennifer Novotny and all who pitched in to make it a fun event.
To all of our bidding members, I thank you.
The message was clear to me that you refuse to participate in a recession. Keep up the positive attitude.
Best regards,
Richard Mead
The annual Silent and Live Auction raised over $4,400 for the Wisconsin Builders Association (WBA) political action fund. Those funds are used to support candidates for elective office who support and understand the importance of the housing industry to local and state economies.
The Board of Directors and the Auction Committee extend our appreciation and many thanks to all the donors, supporters and volunteers who helped make our Annual Auction a success. With their generous support the auction attracts over 125 people to bid on more than 100 donated items ranging from tools to sporting equipment and spa packages.
And a BIG Thank You to Richard Mead 2009 Auction Committee Chair.
