Fellow Rotarian Bob Manning is an executive officer with the Cedar Valley Home Builders Association, and will discuss new construction housing in the Cedar Valley.
Cedar Valley Home Builders Association (CVHBA) was founded in 1955 as a trade association representing every facet of the residential building industry in northeast Iowa.
More than 70 member companies benefit from membership as the association provides services, programs, legislative representation, and membership opportunities to professionals in the building trades available only through CVHBA.
Cedar Valley Home Builders Association members are the architects, builders, remodelers, suppliers, manufacturers, developers, and sales and marketing professionals in your community who provide quality homes, reliable service, and professional building expertise to thousands of families in northeast Iowa.
Bob retired in 2015 after a 32 year career in banking, and has kept busy with supporting the Cedar Trails Partnership.
On January 2, Rotarian Laura Kurtz, her husband Nathan and big sister, Madison welcomed twins into the world. They are identical twin boys named Owen Robert and Parker Nathan! Their family is overflowing with joy!
This year’s race will take place at the District Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on April 25, 2020. Here’s how it works: 1. Each club and individuals from that club will be represented by a single duck in the race. 2. The first three ducks to cross the finish line will be the winners. Once the winning three clubs have been determined a computer pick at random will occur to choose one winner of a Paul Harris Fellow designation for each of the three winning clubs. 3. Each club participating in the race will receive Foundation Paul Harris Fellow points for the full amount of dollars contributed by the club through the purchase of ducks. Ducks are $5 each and checks can be made payable to The Rotary Foundation and mailed to: John Wasta 221 Kent Court NE Cedar Rapids, IA 52402
Please ensure mailed forms reach John no later than April 10. Forms may also be given to John at the conference. They can be purchased online at www.district5970.org
*If you choose to purchase ducks online we kindly request you pay for the credit card fees. Therefore ducks are $5.42 each.
One reason we have amazing programs and speakers is to entice more community leaders to be a part of our club. Invite someone to have lunch and learn about one of these upcoming topics!
