President's Message
Tessa Dongarra
2016 President
Happy February SCWBA members!  The weather is weird, but love is in the air. Feel the love. It will put a smile on your face.
 
The 2016 Home Show is approaching fast. Thank you to ABC Seamless for their sponsorship! There are only 6 booth spaces remaining. For those of you still on the fence, I highly encourage you to not wait any longer and fill those last few spaces. It is worth your time and investment! The Home Show committee has planned some great advertising, which include newspaper, radio and billboard. There will be a big attendance push with plenty of 2 for 1 admissions through coupons promoted to the public. Admission is only $5 (kids free). Bring the kids for the Home Depot Kid's Workshop on Saturday from 11am-1pm. Let's put the Home Show event back on top!

Don't forget the Home Show Preview party on Friday, March 11th at 6pm. We are planning another great event. Networking, food and FUN!

Who doesn't like to eat? We NEED entries for the Comfort Food Competition! Please contact Carol at the SCWBA office to participate. We need entries so we can collect TIPS. All tips go to ECHO. Also remember to bring your food donations for ECHO. How cool would it be to fill a pick-up truck full of food to deliver to ECHO! Come and show off your culinary skills.

The Student Build house is coming along very nicely. If you haven't yet, drive by and check it out. The kids are doing a great job! Special thanks to Chris and Doug at Advantage Homes.  

Parade of Homes letters of intent were sent out. As of now, they indicate 10 new homes, 3 remodels and 4 outdoor living spaces. I know there has to be more out there than this? If you are a builder or landscaper, have you responded yet? If not, please do so now.

SAVE THE DATE. The always popular SCWBA Golf Outing will be Thursday, June 23rd at Koshkonong Mounds. Sure to be another awesome event!

Membership is Sweet! Have you had your "Sweet" visit yet? Carol will be making random visits to all members to say "Thank You" for being a member. The cookies are delicious!

"If Plan A fails, remember that you have 25 letters left."
