#1 Cork & Fork Event a Huge Success!
A huge thank you to members and friends of SAHBA for making the first annual Fall Signature Event, Cork & Fork, a big success!

We successfully achieved our goal of raising $3,000 to support Southern Arizona Construction Career Days. Monark Premium Appliances, Samsung and Blanco, joined SAHBA to welcome 170 people for an evening out with catered food, drinks, music, a photo booth and the opportunity to walk away with a great bottle of wine!

Congratulations to Steve Crawford with Pepper-Viner Homes, winner of the Chef’s Challenge with his homemade chicken pot pie. Alia Jones with KB Home and Andrew Hayes with Hayes Construction also whipped up their favorite culinary delight in the challenge.

Congratulations also goes to Larry Hume, winner of the raffle for the 55” TV that was provided by Samsung.

#4 SAHBA Orchestrates St. Luke's Beautification
When David Godlewski, president of the Southern Arizona Home Builders, first read about St. Luke's 100-year celebrations, he scheduled a visit to St. Luke's and asked CEO L'Don Sawyer, "How can we help?"

A brief tour of St. Luke's quickly revealed the need for rejuvenation of the iron work and steel structures in front of St. Luke's, including in the East Courtyard where the kick-off event was held. Godlewski gathered several of his members including AB LeCocq Construction and the Home Builders Institute (HBI), which brought in a group of students to do the prepping. Dunn-Edwards donated all of the paint required.

As Godlewski said, “We are honored to have played a small role in St. Luke’s 100-year celebration. St. Luke’s is a wonderful association that helps many, many people every year. It was a natural fit for SAHBA – The Community Builder – to partner with St. Luke’s on this project. We wish L’Don, the Board and the entire organization all the best as it begins its 101st year of service.”
