Your issue of the May Housing News is online! You can download the newsletter by clicking on the cover image at right.

In this month's issue you'll find details about the HBA's first ever Home Idea Showcase in Branson on May 16 & 17. There's more information about the compromise at the state level to let homeowners choose whether or not they want a fire sprinkler system, rather than mandating sprinklers in every home built under the new code. Make sure you attend the HBA Fiesta at Southern Materials Company on May 19, 5:30 p.m. This is your opportunity to pick up your copy of the HBA's new 2009-2010 Membership Directory while in Southern Materials Company's showroom for this fun event! As always, check out the new members and more on page 10. You can also review new applicants for membership below:

Last Chance for Membership Directory Advertising!

The 2009-2010 Membership Directory is a great place to promote your business and you receive a Home Show Point for directory advertising! Distribution of the Directory will take place at our Membership Meeting in May. It is an excellent resource distributed to builders/remodelers and industry peers, formatted effectively for their use – they’ve communicated with us that it is easy to keep the directory in the visor of their truck. It is handy to use in the “field”.

This exclusive opportunity is very affordable and offers three size options:
Business Card (3.5”W x 2”H) $175
½ Page size (3.5”W x 4.25”H) $300
Full Page (3.5”W x 8.5”H) $550
*All ads are black and white.

There are just a few more days to reserve your space in the Directory. Don't miss out on this opportunity which is exclusively for HBA members. Click here to email Carrie with your reservation. Artwork is due by April 15 or we can help you in creating an ad if you don't have something camera ready.
