Tessa Dongarra
2016 President
The sun is shining, when it's not raining and warmer weather is upon us. Welcome to May SCWBA members! Thank you to Chad & Dawn Barnes for hosting our April GMM at their beautiful new showroom, 1401 Design in Beloit. They provided great food, drinks and a fun atmosphere. It was nice to "Meat" you all there. Our first Meat Raffle was a big success. We had some big winners take home some delicious meat. We look forward to doing that again soon!

The next GMM is Tuesday, May 31st. This will be our annual Student Build Open House, with the GMM, Scholarships and student recognition. The Open House will be from 4-5:45pm, with dinner at the Pontiac Convention Center at 6pm. PLEASE make it a priority to attend this GMM. I would like to see as many members as we can to show our support to these hard working students, teachers and parents. Some of these kids will be the future to our industry. A RSVP is needed to get a count for dinner.

Did you SAVE the Date for the annual Golf Outing on June 23rd at Koshkonong Mounds? The registration form is attached. Golf is all-inclusive at $100 per person. It will include lunch, golf, cart, dinner and fabulous prizes! As always there will be a lot of fun on course games.

Flop wall, Beat the Pro, Longest Drive, Chip-n-Win and a chance to win a 2 year car Lease with a Hole-in-One! Sign up before June 10th as the price increases to $125. Committee members are making calls looking for the many sponsors needed to make this an awesome day for SCWBA members and their guests! 

The Board recently approved a By-Law amendment that requires builder members to submit a copy of their DCQ and DC, as well as expiration dates to the SCWBA office. Carol will be sending out letters indicating this change and the request to submit the necessary information back to the SCWBA office by June 1, 2016.

Did you know Janesville has a candy factory? Impact Confections, located on Whitney St, home of Warheads and Circus Peanuts, just finished a huge remodeling project to update their dated corporate offices. Several SCWBA members worked very hard on this project to create a fun and colorful environment reminiscent of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Inspired Spaces was the project interior designer, with help from Cabinet Country, Janesville Plumbing and Halverson Carpet Center. Everything turned out so sweet! Congrats to everyone involved.

There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.
