HB RA Home Builders & Remodelers Assn. Fairfi eld County Dear HBRA Members, The leaves are changing signaling another season already underway. The office has been busy with new projects , new events and new educational seminars. This issue is jam packed with info on past events we hope you attended to information that will save you money and help you in your business. I wanted to thank everyone who attended the Yankee vs. Red Sox Game and pre-game dinner on Arthur Avenue on September 29th. The event was sponsored by City Carting, United Bank and William Pitt Sotheby's and the 78 who attended had a fabulous time! Peter Gioia from the CT Business and Industry Association (CBIA) gave the members and guests attending some food for thought at the October General Membership Meeting at Giovanni's in Darien on October 5th. Special thanks to United Bank for sponsoring and to Frank Webb's Bath Centers for the lovely Raffle basket. I had a wonderful opportunity to meet with the Assistant Principal, Dean of Students and a Carpentry Instructor at the Wright Technical School on Stamford. This High School underwent a $90 million renovation and now educates students from 9 towns in Fairfield County. Please be sure to read the article about the school and help support them-- these are the next generation skilled laborers that will be so important to the building industry. I happy to welcome a new staff member, Clare Michalak to the HBRA. Clare will be handling all of our marketing and graphics including this magazine. As you can see changes are already happening. Last, but certainly not least we are busily working on the 2017 Luxury Home Tour. Thanks to the 21 HBRA members who stepped up to be part of the is ground-breaking event! Applications to enter and additional information will be forthcoming - keep a lookout in your e-mail boxes! As always, if you have any questions, please call the office or e-mail us at hbra@buildfairfieldcounty.com!
