Happy Holidays Everyone! The Holidays are almost behind us and a fresh start full of possibilities lay ahead in 2015. As I look back on 2014 and count all of my blessings, I recognize that a major blessing has been my involvement in HBAL, and specifically, the Remodelers Council. I believe that in life, you get out of it what you put into it. With that, I would like to encourage everyone to find their own blessings in 2015.There are so many opportunities to learn and grow in HBAL, from the many activities that are always going on, to the special committees, and the great councils provided. Take a moment and discover what opportunities await you.As we move through the coming year, I would like to focus on ways to strengthen and grow the Remodelers Council through education and development of the next generation of professional remodelers.Our next meeting is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on January 7 at the HBAL office. We will have Teresa Stitcher Fritz from the Better Business Bureau talk about the BBB and scams they are currently seeing in the construction industry.
