Busy, Busy, Busy
I haven't caught my breath since January 1st and there still aren't any signs of things slowing. The Home and Garden Show is right around the corner and as soon as we get this one under our belt, the Parade picks up full steam. The first 6 months of the Association calendar blow by like the wind. The Home & Garden Show is nearly sold out and the committee has been working hard to bring the exhibitors and members of TABA a great Preview Party. I couldn't do everything that needs to be done if it wasn't for the help of those committee chairmen and members. Thank You all!
Parade of Homes Update
Entries were due on February 1st and it looks like we will have 18 homes on tour this year!! From the entries, it looks like we are going to have a fantastic parade with many wonderful homes for the citizens of Central Texas to see. The parade committee is spearheaded this year by Justin Scott of Trinity Homes and his main message to all potential parade builders was to "Pull out all of the stops." I bet we will once again see some remarkable homes and quality craftsmanship on tour. Once again we have the realtor tour. It is scheduled for April 22nd and the Parade Awards Dinner is schedule for Friday, April 25th at the Strasburger Hall at the CAC. Keep reading our newsletters for more information.
Rest in Peace Jerry Tyroch, Sr.
Past President Jerry Tyroch Sr. passed away on January 25, 2008. Troy and I recently attended a wonderful ceremony celebrating his life at a packed Seaton Bretheren Church. Neither of us personally knew Mr. Tyroch, who was TABA’s sixth president in 1980, but based on the eulogy that was given by Dr. Kevin Stegar, we both know we would have liked him very much. He was a man of great integrity, he loved his family very much, and he built houses that he made sure people would be proud to call home. Like that Brad Paisley song says, he’s gotten where he’s goin’. He now resides in the house of the Lord.
