The Southwest Suburban Home Builders Association is looking forward to our Annual Golf Outing. Check out the flyer below and register online today!

Greetings fellow members. 
We survived that wacky winter and by now Spring has finally sprung.

I wanted to thank everyone who attended the March General Membership Meeting and Metrostudy for providing some interesting information.  Also, I wanted to thank everyone who showed up for the OSHA class at the SSHBA office last month. I heard it was very interesting and educational.

 I also want to let
everyone know that April is full of events for everyone at the SSHBA.  On April 26^th is our annual
Kentucky Derby Raffle at Harrah’s Casino and Hotel in Joilet.  Tickets for the raffle and event can be
purchased from any number of members that are selling them, or me.  We have always had a great time at this
event, please attend.  On April 30^th
in Springfield, IL is the annual Home Builders of Illinois Lobby Day.  This event is a chance for everyone in our
industry to have a chance to visit our elected officials in the state capital
and lobby them on several important building industry related issues.  This is the best time for YOUR voice to be
heard.  The meeting will be at the Sagamo
Club, in Springfield, at 10:30am.  We
will, through Shannon, be taking the Amtrak from Joliet to Springfield and back
on the 30^th.  

If you’re looking to get more involved in the Association,
there are many committee meetings to do the nuts and bolts work of running the
association.  I’ve said it before, if you
want to get something out of your membership join a committee and get involved.

Happy Easter to everyone and Let’s get building.

The Kentucky Derby Raffle at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet is coming up on Friday, April 26th from 6:00-9:00 p.m.

Just a reminder, for every 4-9 tickets you sell you will be entered to win a gift certificate to dinner at Harrah’s steakhouse. Every 10 tickets you will be entered for a drawing to win a free stay at the Harrah’s hotel the night of the Raffle!! That’s one entry per 10 tickets…. 20 tickets? Two entries. 30 tickets? Three!

Need more tickets? Call our office!!
