Welcome Bruce Furniture & Flooring
|
Bruce Furniture's doors officially opened in May of 1977 in Alliance, NE. They quickly learned that they had to do run their store a little differently than the traditional home furnishings operation. "We need to try being all things to all people. We'll get that item for you!” To date, nearly 40% of Bruce Furniture sales can be attributed to custom orders.
Four more stores followed the opening of their Alliance store. Hastings in 1984, Holdrege in 2000, Kearney in 2006 and North Platte in 2017.
This expansion over four decades does not happen without loyal, trusting employees. Bruce Furniture has been blessed with hard-working people who take ownership of their job. They are a dedicated group who serve their customers with the "JUST RIGHT FOR YOU" attitude.
Welcome KABA Member Landon Walz!

Congratulations
to Pedro Nunez Jr. and Dakota Franks! KABA's first students to receive the KABA Scholarships graduated from CCC in Hastings. Both students set such good examples for not only our other students in the Scholarship/Mentoring Program but set the bar high for future winners. Good luck to both in their future!
A special thank you to Jeff Heiden (Dakota's mentor) and Andy Spracklen (Pedro's mentor) for teaching the students the skills needed in our building industry. Because of your mentorship and CCC's instruction, these students competed in SkillsUSA Nebraska in the Teamwork division and both years they placed first winning them a trip to Nationals. Well done!

CENTRAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE

In the spring of 2017, graduating high school seniors, Dakota Franks of Kearney and Pedro Nunez of Gibbon were selected to receive an educational grant from KABA.
In return for their employment by a KABA member for the duration of their education and for one full year after completing an Associates Degree in construction from a Nebraska State Community College (both of which are attending Central Community College), all tuition unpaid by other grants and scholarships will be paid through the National Home Builders of America's grant secured by KABA.
In the spring of 2018, two additional students were awarded scholarships. Austin Bamsberger and Lucas Falk both from Kearney High received 1 year Full Tuition Scholarship and in 2019 were awarded the 2nd full tuition scholarship as well as graduating senior KHS Cameron Claussen.
Building communities through our future!
