Congrats to the graduates we honored today!  Thank you, members, for allowing us to recognize your loved one’s achievements!  Long live the tradition! 

Notes from your executive director:

At this month’s board meeting, the board:

Opened the category of ‘Roofing, Siding & Decks’ for Michael Krueger, Kruger Brothers Construction.  Michael is sponsored by Todd Matia.  Please note, we have changed the category, for now, to just ‘Siding and Decks’ as Weathercraft Roofing holds the category of ‘Roofing.’  The board is working out the details of the residential roofing portion.  Should you know of any qualified/top notch companies in ‘Siding & Decks’ please bring them as a guest to see if they might like to compete for the category.  As always, it is the goal of CSEA to bring in the best in class.  Competition is encouraged!

 

Sponsor a member from now until the end of October and get $100 Execs gift certificate!  The board voted to increase the certificate amount through October!  Help us grow our membership!
