President's Message

Homework Remodels

I would like to congratulate our members who were at our first social media class last week. I missed the class due to a business trip to the Wellborn Cabinet factory in Alabama, but I will be at the rest of the classes. I believe that this is a great opportunity for all of us to get the word out about our companies without the expense of traditional advertising. Everyone that I spoke to said the class and the instructions was great. If you have interest in joining, let Jetta know. We have a few open spots and it can be worth your while.

Dee Suomala provided some great photos of the class that I posted on the chapter's blog site. You can see them at http://ww.remodelingleaders.com/news--views.html.

Community Outreach & George Brunell CR

George, co-chair of the 2011 CotY Awards will again be riding to raise money for MS. George has ridden over 30,000 miles and already raised $78,705.00.
