Wolf River Builders - Builder News Mar. 2010 Part 3

Membership Dues—Installments Payments? To try to make it easier for members to make their dues payment, it was decided to offer the option of making “installment payments”. I will try to send notice three months ahead of due date. You may split the payment up into two or three payments, with the final payment due by your renewal date. There will be no refunds if dues are not paid in full. And one payment in full when due is always an option!

It’s Coming -- 2010 WRBA Home & Cottage Show

at the Crawford Center -- Shawano County Fairgrounds

2010 WRBA Home & Cottage Show will be held on April 9, 10 & 11 at the Crawford Center at the Shawano County Fairgrounds. Booth sales are coming in, seminars are being scheduled, and plans are being laid for a fabulous show!

If you have not reserved your booth yet, the time is now! Prime spots are still available. Don’t lose your spot to a non-member – reserve today!

Registrants prior to March 11 have the option of attending a free seminar at Angie’s Main Café on the 11^th entitled “How to Run a Successful Booth” from 8:00 a.m. -10:00 a.m.

Admission for this year’s show for attendees will be “Free for Three” – free admission with three non-perishable food items OR a $3.00 (minimum recommended) donation to Wolf River Habitat for Humanity.

Our Scholarship Raffle will reach its culmination with the winners being drawn at about 2:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon at the show.

We are planning to give away $500 worth of international phone cards to attendees who can show that they have a service member overseas on duty ($20/card) while supplies last, one per service member. If you know someone with a service member overseas, suggest that they attend!

Seminars including Kitchen Remodeling 101, Garden/Landscaping for all season color and interest, Sunrooms & Outdoor Kitchens, Tile-Wood-Laminate, and Log Homes are on the agenda at this point…with more to come!

This year’s home show will be advertised the week before and through the show on WBAY TV – Channel 2 out of Green Bay. We are also looking at doing a Tabloid to come out just before the show, lots of posters, banners, etc for advertising.

This year’s show should be bigger and better than ever! Time is running out. Get your package in to Cap or Diane today!! It’s Coming!

Our main advertising campaign with the Shawano Shopper’s Guide is a quarterly program. We get the full front page of the Shopper once per month, giving you prime business card size advertising space for $110 per quarter (three issues). If you are interested in “guaranteeing” your spot and would like to pay once a year rather than every quarter, WRBA offers a 5% discount to our “annual subscribers”. Call Karen for more information.
