Columbus Home Builder's 2019 Holiday Party
Put it on your calendar! The Annual Holiday Party is Saturday, November 9 with Comedian Kris Covi performing! The evening will begin at 6:00 pm at the VFW in Columbus. Bring your significant other, friends, employees! With Prime Rib and Shrimp on the menu and Kris Covi in the house you are assured a great time!
Kris is the winner of several comedy competitions including the 2014 Great American Comedy Festival (amateur) and was a finalist out of 450 comics in the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas. He is a regular at the Omaha Funny Bone and can be seen at comedy clubs and corporate events around the country. He is married and has two adorable daughters. He also has a son. A toddler son. A #!*%! toddler son who spends his days devising ways to break all the stuff.
When he is not in comedy clubs he is performing for corporate parties, private events, and the club he made in his basement full of stuffed animals the dog hasn't destroyed yet. It's a tough room but they are always good for a hug.
In addition to stand up comedy Kris is available as an emcee and charity auctioneer. He has helped raise over $1,000,000 as an auctioneer for some of Omaha's most wonderful charities.

Double Our Membership
If every member recruited just one new member we'd double our size! It's easy math but much harder to ask a sub-contractor or friend to pay money to join an association they may not be familiar with. Solve the problem by inviting them to a monthly meeting. Bring them with you to an upcoming event like the CHBA Steak Fry in August or the Holiday Party in November. Invite them to help roof the Habitat house when we partner up with Columbus Habitat for Humanity. Help them to get to know us!
Please refer to the list to the left. If you know anyone on a personal level or you work with them, please invite them to join CHBA.

Greetings! Platte County has had some issues recently regarding the construction of driveways in the county, particularly that all drives must receive a permit from the county and approval prior to construction. This applies to all county roads, including public dedicated roads within subdivisions.
