WHAT IS SPORTING CLAYS

Sporting Clay is a variation of targets and patterns thrown to simulate different types of upland birds waterfowl and other small game A specific station is used to indicate where the shooter will stand in wait for the target The shooter then calls for the target and a variation of targets are thrown

This event is open to members and their guests (bring your crew) We welcome the experienced and encourage those who have never shot at all to give it a try

Guns are not available to rent however sharing with one other person is allowed Attendees will be re-quired to practice gun safety at all times while on the course Loaded guns are only allowed while at the targets

Well there goes Summer I hope all of you had a busy and successful Season I know its not over yet and weather cooperating we could extend our time working September is promising to be a busy time for the NMBA and that all begins with the Monthly Membership Night on September 8th I hope you have all noticed that this will be held a week later than the typical First Thursday of the Month Because the first Thursday falls right before Labor Day it is much easier and convenient for the Sponsors and members to come back to business after the Holiday weekend This also extended the date of the Sporting Clay event and the committee felt it would be better held in the middle of the month

The NMBA is also holding Plumbing Continuing Ed classes on September 14th and 15th This will be a recurring class offering from the NMBA and like the Contractor classes and Electrical classes We hope that it can be built into a staple event for the Organization for years to come

Last on the schedule is the Showcase of Homes being held the 24th and 25th For any Builders or Contractors that would like to be a part of the Showcase but cant commit to the public side of the event there will be an Online Only Showcase that you can be a part of Contact Carie for the details

Finally there is a lot of information that comes our way at Membership Nights Continuing Education and through other sources A lot of this information can be supplied by the NMBA for a long period of time as a benefit of Mem-bership In May Travis Cole and Nathan Morlan presented Code information at the Membership Night They have supplied Carie with the Power point presentation so that all members who would like a copy can be provided with that information There are also Continuing Education classes that can also be sent to you If you recall any informa-tion from past events and would like check on a copy contact Carie at the office We have a lot of resources at our disposal and a good reminder that we have that information waiting for us through Membership

I hope to see you all at the upcoming TBG sponsored Membership Night

Thank you

There are Other Important Elections in November

With much of the focus this election cycle squarely on the presidential race it can be easy to forget that there are many other important races in Minnesota With both the Minnesota Senate and House up for reelection so much is at stake this November The Builders Association of Minnesota and our eleven statewide local associations have a fantastic opportunity to help elect pro-housing candi-dates and build relationships with both incumbents and challengers How Member nights

Our members are our most valuable asset and essential to our sustained and contemporary advo-cacy efforts at the Capitol As the voice of the building industry in the state itrsquos imperative that our statewide membership connects with the candidates Letrsquos familiarize them with the home-building industry and how the legislaturersquos work affects your business family and community Each of our eleven associations are positioned perfectly to connect with incumbents running for reelection AND with the challengers determined to unseat them

In the coming months the Builders Association of Minnesota will work with each of the statewide local associations to connect members to legislators at member nights leading up to November This is such an important undertaking As your lobbyists we strive each session to pass meaningful legislation to strengthen our industry and to stop bad bills from becoming law BAM is so lucky to have an engaged committed and hard-working statewide membership and that makes all the dif-ference

Thank you
