MARCH eNEWSLETTER 2010
EDITOR'S NOTE:
March is the time of year we eagerly book our flights to KBIS in Chicago in anticipation of a great Spring Kitchen & Bath show!
It is a windy city ... but well worth having your hair blown around, absorbing the architecture, shopping the mile, and listening to the BLUES after the big five day show.
However, lets not forget to attend the two great shows locally this month, the HOME SHOW in EDMONTON or even volunteering at the NKBA BOOTH at this show (registration / schedule below) and the BUILDEX SHOW featuring our own CAROLYN CHEETHAM speaking on GREEN KITCHEN & BATH.
See the proud Student Winner of the NKBA contest—she is from Lakeland College, AB.
We are planning our first NKBA STAMPEDE PARTY & looking for SPONSOR(S) for this event. Please contact me at your earliest.
Have a wonderful MARCH! See you at KBIS in Chicago and lets meet at the "Canadian Meeting" on April 16, 10:15 am—right after the opening ceremony.
PS: don't forget to read all the way to the bottom of the enews! |
