Crescent City Green Council Toni Wendel, 2010 Chair
Next Meeting: Thursday, August 19th @ 12pm HBA Office, 2424 N. Arnoult Road, Metairie
The
Crescent City Green Building Council was honored to host David Crump, Esq. at
our July monthly meeting. Mr. Crump, a retired judge and current NAHB Lawyer,
prepared an interesting and informative presentation concerning legal issues
related to green building. His insights were invaluable and left all of the
attendees with a better sense of how to prepare themselves for the many legal
topics that may arise as the field continues to develop. We hope to see you all
at our next meeting on Thursday, August 20th. Please contact Alex if you'd like
to sponsor or attend!

Associates Council Mike LeCorgne, 2010 Chair
Next Meeting: Wednesday, August 4 @ 8:30am HBA Office
As most of you know, we had to cancel the Wess Wyman Memorial Fishing Rodeo this year due to the Gulf oil spill. Fortunately, it does seem that the situation in the Gulf is improving, but it does not look like there are any openings in our calendar this year to reschedule the tournament. So, we're moving onward to our next event - the Kick-A$$ Cook Off. We'll be holding the cook off at the Deutsches-Haus for the last time this year, so come help us say goodbye in style! The event is August 28th, 12p-3p. Click on the link above for all the details and registration.
Remaining 2010 Events: Fall Golf Tournament: October 5 @ English Turn
