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!
