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!

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.

Established in Abbeville, Alabama in 1970, Great Southern Wood Preserving, Incorporated has grown from humble beginnings into the nation's leading producer of pressure treated pine.  Jimmy Rane, the President and CEO of Great Southern, attributes this success to the family of employees such as Michael Rowland. After separating from the military in 2002, Michael worked full-time while earning his degree in business management from the University of South Alabama. He joined Great Southern Wood's Mobile plant in 2006 and has been an integral part of the team as an outside sales representative. Responsible for the western region of the plant's territory, Michael takes great pleasure in servicing building supply centers from Mobile to Baton Rouge.  


Perhaps best known for YellaWood� brand pressure treated pine, the company's flagship brand, and it's famous yellow end tag, Great Southern Wood also carries a wide variety of building products.  The company provides the area with N-Durz� brand borate treated products for weather protected interior applications, FlameFreez� brand fire retardant lumber and plywood, CCA treated products for agricultural and salt water applications, and the company's own glulam, KDAT porch columns: YellaWood� columns.  In addition, the company also distributes TimberTech� composite decking and railing and Fortress Iron Railing.
