Good Tuesday morning everyone! Sorry I am late in getting this out, but with all the rain I have spent many hours on my tractor taking care of lots! As with many of you, the economic conditions of the last few years have necessitated some new business strategies. One of those was getting reacquainted with my tractor and brush-hog!
What has been some of your new business strategies in this ever-changing business climate? In a few weeks many of us will be traveling to Washington DC for the NAHB Spring Board and Leg-Con. Having some of these stories to share with our Congressional delegation will be very helpful. Please send them to me or to the staff at the State Association. We would love to hear from you.
As school draws to a close, many of you will be attending graduation ceremonies and the like. Then you will be turning your thoughts to a well deserved summer vacation. Might I take privilege and suggest you consider our annual Summer Convention? This year it will be held at the Chateau on the Lake in Branson, MO. We've got some great speakers lined up and some wonderful activities planned. Not to mention, the hotel sits on the edge of Table Rock Lake and not too far from Silver Dollar City. Come and join us! What better deal to combine a "little" business with a "lot" of pleasure?! See more information below and check it out.
In the meantime, the gas tank is full and the sun is shining, so I have to get back on the rig and get to work. Who out there needs a good deal on a lot?! Keep on building!
- Brandon Perkins, 2012 State President
