Have you maximized your membership?
2009 Sponsorship Opportunities

  Sized For Any Budget  
  Two HUGE benefits:  • Consolidated Billings  • Increased Visibility

   Dear Fellow Members,

All of us who join the Rutherford County Home Builders Association have our own reasons for being members... developing contacts, building relationships, uniting to influence government affairs, our own continuing education, current information about home building, etc.

But all of us do belong for one common reason, service to our industry and to our communities. Few of us have a full awareness of all of the opportunities which the RCHBA affords us in those areas.

In order to acquaint you with all of those possibilities, and make it easy for you to choose the ones which most appeal to you, we have developed a list of possible sponsorships.

I would appreciate your taking a moment to review the list, and begin checking those sponsorship opportunities which you feel would be most beneficial to you and the association.

Remember that sponsorships bring you and your company extra recognition and credit, as well as prove your commitment to those programs you elect to support. But most important, your contributions make it possible for the RCHBA to better serve you, our industry and our communities.

Your continuing participation is very important to the success of your association.

Thank you for all you do for the RCHBA.

Sincerely,
Mark Wood
Mark Wood, 2009 RCHBA President

Our weather and the economy maybe partly cloudy to downright gloomy, but here’s an opportunity to set your worries aside and enjoy a special night out—at the 2009 Installation Banquet. Enjoy a fabulous steak dinner, hobnob with attending dignitaries, and enjoy the CLEAN humor of comedian Rik Roberts. The ticket price is just $25 per person, made possible by our event sponsors. However, there are only 85 sponsor-subsidized $25 tickets available, so RSVP immediately. (When the discounted tickets are gone the full cost to attend is $45 per person.) Due to the limited number of $25 tickets available, pre-payment is expected, and the cancellation policy will be strictly enforced. If you RSVP and do not attend, we have to pay for your meal anyway; no-shows will be charged full price per ticket. Remember to dress up—attire is suit and tie for you gentlemen; cocktail attire for ladies. See you there! 

In today’s tough economic climate, faltering business is responsible for the fear that we are all facing daily: loss of jobs and income.  This fear leads us to often be less than charitable in our thoughts, words and deeds—in both our business and personal lives. Rather than work together to combat adversity, we are inclined to act and react with criticism or negativity. 

Last Sunday as I listened to the pastor’s message, “Tests for Righteousness,” it occurred to me that this lesson could be re-labeled “Integrity Test.” Consider cutting this out and posting it someplace where you’ll see it every day. I’ve taped mine on my computer monitor...

Integrity Test

Personal Test: Will doing/saying this make me a better or worse person?

Social Test: Will my doing/saying it influence others for better or worse? 

Practical Test: Will it do me mental, moral or physical harm? 

Family Test: Will my doing/saying this bring my family honor or dishonor?

Universal Test: Suppose everybody did/said  this. What would happen?

Common Sense Test: Does my good sense, based on experience, tell me that this action is something to be proud of? Or ashamed of?

Christian Test: Is this forbidden, even by implication, in God’s Word?

 Won’t you join me in this New Year’s resolution: to be positive in thoughts, words and deeds? It’s bound to leave fewer wrinkles!
