Executive Officer Announcement

Happy July everyone! HBAGS has been busy planning some great events that I know you will benefit from!

Come grab a cold beer while networking & fellowshipping with other business professionals at our August GMM at the Fr8Yard. Bring your non-member friends and colleagues and I can sign them up to join on the spot! For each non-member I sign up at the event, you will receive one pull from our Gift Card Grab Bag, PLUS spike credits!

We also have our big summer fundraiser coming up in September: Tabletop Night @ 1881 Event Hall. This is a great opportunity to meet different vendors in the building industry & see new products available to you. If you are interested in sponsoring a vendor table, please reach out to Sarah or Chris Bryant with Builders FirstSource at Chris.Bryant@bldr.com.

Also, don't forget our Sporting Clay Shoot in October! More details to come on that in the upcoming weeks.

I look forward to seeing you at the FR8yd in August!

Sincerely,

Sarah McNeely
