Dear Chapter Members:

I am very proud to have been associated with such a fine group of professionals involved in the Surplus sale this past weekend.

The weather was ideal and the pre-event marketing was most effective. We had a steady stream of people throughout the day. We had a wide range of items donated. It was most impressive.

Thanks to all who came out both Friday and Saturday to work this event. As always, Filomena worked very hard to put on a spectacular event together. The Re-Store of Frederick has received all the remaining items. The Urbana Fire Hall carnival grounds was left cleaner than when we arrive on Friday. Our "Ask the Remodeler Booth" was not as effective as we thought because our NARI Members were entertaining question all day long in the sales area. Nobody needed to go the booth because they got their questions answered while looking and purchasing their much needed items.

This event had many goals. Clean out member warehouses, give a donation to the Urbana fire Department, promote NARI Mid-Maryland, promote my business and your business, promote Habitat for Humanity, enjoy lunch by an excellent caterer, and raise money for our Chapter. We did all of this in two days. Wow, what a successful event!

I look forward to seeing all of you at the CotY Awards Dinner on October 21st!  Please register online at www.MarylandNari.org.

Thanks again everyone.
