Building connections in July with brats & birdies

BIA-RRV hosted the Muddy Boots Picnic July 10 in partnership with Cass County Electric Cooperative.
 
This free appreciation event attracted hundreds of Association members, contractors and their crews for a meal of delicious grilled brats, sauerkraut, pasta salad and ice cream!

 

Thanks to those who came or volunteered!

Our first Golf Outing July 18 was a sold-out, smashing success attracting 36 teams and nearly 40 sponsors. We enjoyed a beautiful day at Hawley Golf & Country Club with plenty of fun, prizes and networking.

 

Want to get in on the fun? There are limited sponsorships and team spots for our THIRD outing Sept. 12. We're also selling raffle tickets for The Great Ball Drop again next month.

Your association & charity team up to build bird feeders with area youth

Earlier this month, over 50 BIA-RRV volunteers visited local Boys & Girls Club centers for a workforce development activity. They talked about careers in construction and built bird feeder kits with third through fifth graders! 

 

Home Builders Care of F-M Foundation made this possible by tapping into a partnership between the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and grant funds from the National Association of Home Builders. Lowe's provided the bird feeders and hammers.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped and watch for a similar event coming this fall!
