July is a quiet month around here at the SSHBA so this article will be short and sweet, just like our office staff…

With the sweltering temperatures lately, it is clear that we are really in the swing of summer. Speaking of swing….We had a perfect day for our annual golf outing last month! We were able to fill two courses at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park. Everyone had a great time plus there were many amazing raffle and auction prizes for attendees. A special thank you to the Golf Committee, they did a great job providing a fun filled networking event.

We need everyone’s help to make the remaining events of 2018 a success. Mark your calendars for the following upcoming events:

August 16th- Autobahn Racing Event at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet at 4:00pm

September 13th- Tour of Homes Kick Off Party at Doc’s Smokehouse in Mokena 6:00pm

Weekends of September 15th/16th & 22nd/23rd – 2nd Annual Tour of Homes

October 25th- Membership Meeting/ Tax Reform Panel at Ruffled Feathers in Lemont at 5:30pm

Please do your best to share information with other people in the industry and explain to them how membership with the SSHBA can benefit them. Don’t forget… your membership is a three in one membership and one of the best benefits to joining the SSHBA is that you receive a local, state and national level membership. As an added bonus, we now have a membership incentive program that is ongoing. For each new Builder member that joins, the referring member will be credited $50 off their renewal dues. For each Associate member that joins, the referring member will be credited $25 off their dues. There is no cap (not to exceed total cost of membership) on how many credits you can receive. Let’s all work together to build our association this year!

Thank you all for reading. Have a safe summer and try to stay cool!
