WCBA Trade Scholarship Fund Update!
by Caroline Wilkes, Scholarship Committee Chair
It is hard to believe summer is half over and the fall semester is right around the corner!! Just a quick update on the WCBA Trades Scholarship Fund. Everything is currently in place and the WCBA Trades Scholarship Fund application is available on the MPTC website.
Four (4) $500 scholarships available for students enrolled in ABC Carpentry Apprenticeship; ABC Construction Electrical Apprenticeship; Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Technology; Building Trades Construction Worker; Commercial Refrigeration Certificate; Electricity; or Industrial Wiring Certificate. Reserved for students residing in Washington County with a 2.5 GPA and a minimum 6 credit enrollment. Students are able to apply until the end of July, the student will be notified in August and the WCBA will be contacted in September with the names of the recipients.
What an excellent way for the Washington County Builders Association to give back to our community!!! We are very excited to follow the progress through the 2013-2014 school year. Watch the September or October newsletter for the names of our recipients!!! Again, Thanks to everyone for all their hard work and dedication to make this possible.

 A Message from the WCBA
President, Dirk Wildt 
I hope that everyone is enjoying summer with vacations in full flurry and hopefully construction activities as well. I do believe that we are seeing stronger buyer activity with an elevated consumer confidence that will start to equate to increased productivity for everyone in the building trades. And without a doubt I am sure that we all will agree it is about time.
The WCBA Tour of homes is now in full swing and as one of the participants I am personally inspired and very pleased with the response and the turnout from potential clients throughout the Tour. People are out there looking and inquiring, which is a good sign for all.
Wishing you all the best in your respective trades.
