Those who attended last month’s After Hours were the first to preview our new entertaining space at TABA. We’re excited to have a new multipurpose space and would like to thank all of our members for making it possible.

The month of May provides plenty of opportunities for you to check out the new space and network with fellow members. Join us on Tuesday, May 6th for After Hours and the first-ever TABA Washer Tournament. Teams of two can play for $50 and the reigning champion will have the option to compete at the Sunbelt Builders Show in July. I hope you’ll stop by, either to play or cheer on your favorite team.

And don’t miss one of TABA’s most popular get-togethers, the All Member Cookout, scheduled for May 12. Bring your crew to the TABA office and enjoy a free lunch and hopefully, great weather.

As we prepare for the 2014 Parade of Homes, scheduled June 7-15, it’s a busy season at TABA. Now’s the time to make the most of your membership - I hope to see you at an upcoming event.
