MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dear HBRA Members, T he inaugural Luxury Home Tour was a grand success! Even with the weather not cooperating with us on Saturday we had visitors at all of the homes. Sunday was a beautiful day with many more touring these four fabulous homes. I have thanked the builders who stepped up to be part of this tour many times, but I need to thank them again for understanding the vision and opportunity this weekend event provided. So once again, Arnold, Ken, Tim, and Luigi – THANK YOU! I would also be remiss in not thanking Jim and Doron again as well for opening their home for the Kick Off event. I cannot imagine the evening being any better than what we experienced. We were privileged to enjoy your absolutely stunning estate, home, and pool house. THANK YOU! What a great evening at Connecticut Stone on April 5th! Tyra Dellacroce and her staff hosted our largest General Membership Meeting to date. The food, drink, raffles – all I can say is WOW and a BIG thank you! Be sure to check out the photos on page 16. The May 3rd General Membership meeting is sure to sell out. Clarke Showrooms once again is hosting the Building Official of the Year event in South Norwalk. This is a limited seating event so if you haven’t registered yet do so quickly. A new education series is being offered through one of our members - Sandler Training. The first class is April 28th but you can still sign up for the May 12 & 24th classes. Plus the May OSHA class is open to register – We sell out every class so register early! 6 | HBRA of Fairfield County | APRIL 2017 Due to some unforeseen circumstances (a fire at the Italian Center in Stamford), we have had to change our June Annual Meeting venue to the Greenwich Regency Hyatt. The date has also changed to Friday June 9th. Come walk the red carpet and join us for cocktails, dinner, and our HBRA awards, plus a silent and LIVE auction benefitting the NEW HBRA scholarship Fund. See Page 19 for additional details. The Annual Golf Outing will be held at Tashua Knolls Golf Course on Monday July 24th. See page 20 for information. Additional announcements will be sent out shortly to the membership. Please be sure to check out the Builder Member Spotlight. Two more of our builders are highlighted - if you would like to be included, please contact me or the office. As always, if you have any questions, please call the office or e-mail us at hbra@buildfairfieldcounty.com! Best, Gina Calabro gina@buildfairfieldcounty.com "Success is not the key to happiness.
