May was another month of success and we have a spectacular issue of OnSite filled with the best of the best! Our General Membership meeting this month was Lobsterfest! It was a great evening at Pub 199. Lobsterfest is always well attended and enjoyed. This has been an annual Metro event for many years and will continue to be a staple event on the calendar. We all look forward to our annual Pub 199 visit, the delicious Lobster Tails, Snow Crab Legs, Clams, and the great company! Make sure you join us next year if you missed it this year. Our Professional Women in Building Council (PWB) hosted “The House She Built” with Girl Scout Troop #97890. Linda Garvey of Coppola Brothers read “The House She Built” book by Mollie Elkman & Georgia Castellano to the girls and supplied snacks, Tammy Murray of Anderson Windows purchased the books and patches for all the girls, and Mike Black of Blue Ridge Lumber provided the custom cut wooden blocks, nails and Blue Ridge Lumber hats. It was beyond wonderful to see the girls listen with interest to the story and enjoy the prepared craft. Our afternoon was filled with hammers, nails, wood, and sharing our love and stories of the construction trade. Sharing my love of construction, to girls, women and especially my daughter, is a true passion of mine. Check out the additional photos on social media of the event. Our Education Committee is in full swing and we are currently offering additional NAHB classes. The classes are virtual and vary in topic and time frame. Check out our online calendar to get the details and register. Look forward to seeing you in class! Thank you Robert Nussbaum of Saiber for the informative article concerning legalized marijuana on the jobsite and charts of housing permit trends. Always a great read and valuable content. Thank you Robert for your contributions to Onsite and Metro! Take a minute to check it out and read it. This month, we had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew Schenkal of Double Play. Andrew also prepared and presented a presentation on LinkedIn for the Sales and Marketing May breakfast at 1776 in Morristown. The presentation was phenomenal, the event was well attended and it also attracted many potential Metro members to attend. Enjoy the write up and look for him at our next event, Andrew is a great connection! Introduce yourself and share your contact information with him, he is a new member looking to share knowledge and work with other members. Thank you all for your continued support. I look forward to seeing everyone at all the upcoming Metro events. Don’t keep us a secret, bring a guest! President’s Message June 2024
