We would like to thank everyone for a great 2014. It's with continued industry support that we are able to make a difference. We have a great network of supporting members, which includes shops and vendors alike. We must have both to maintain our momentum.
We want to encourage those that haven't officially joined our association to do so. There are great things happening across the country. We have new associations popping up all the time. They are joining forces with existing state and national groups to make some strong strides toward taking control of our industry.
In the month of October, HABA will be holding a Board meeting instead of our regular monthly meeting. Please take this time to reflect on the local industry, where it is now, where you would like to see it, how your shops doing and what you can do to improve it all. Join us for the November meeting and help us make plans for 2015. We need your commitment to "OUR" industry in order to make it what we want it to be.
