2016 President

Happy March SCWBA members!

Thank you to everyone who participated and joined us for the Comfort Food Competition held at Marling Homeworks. A lot of great food and beverages were shared for all to enjoy. It's too bad there were not more members that attended. We still raised $339.00 for ECHO and A LOT of food donations. Congrats goes to Ron "the Jerk" Starmer for winning the Golden Spoon Award!

The Home Show is March 12 & 13 and we only have 2 booth spaces open. I'm so happy to see we are almost full! Help spread the word to any of your potential customers, friends and family. Keep your eye out for the 2 for 1 coupon's to use as well. It's sure to be a GREAT show this year! There will be many fun activities in store for our visitors all weekend long. The Scavenger Hunt, where we will award five $50.00 cash prizes. With a $5 donation to the Humane Society, visitors will have a chance to win a $500 Giveaway donated by Simmons Fence. Home Depot will be putting on their "Kids Club" from 11am til 1 pm Saturday. New this year will be Chalk Paint Demonstrations by Terra Yard Creations both days at 11am, 1pm & 3pm. We're also looking for a little help with the admissions booth throughout the weekend. Please contact Carol at the office.

On Friday, March 11, the Home Show Preview Party starts at 6pm. Cost is $10.00 to attend. I don't want to give too much away, but the game we have planned is going to be super fun! This is also your chance to see the booth spaces of your fellow members and what they have to offer. A relaxing environment to network with members while enjoying some food and refreshments. This is one you DO NOT want to miss. Hope to see a lot of you on Friday!

Congratulations to Jeff & Amy Steffensen on the arrival of their new baby girl! She was born on Thursday, February 25th.

Welcome to the world Jasmine Marie Steffensen.
