Hello NKBA Wisconsin Upper Michigan Chapter!!!

I hope everyone is having a great cool summer and had a happy 4th of July.

What a difference a year can make.  Everything is opening up and for the most part we are seeing happy smiling faces once again.   Well, until we start talking to clients and vendors about extended lead times and hoping to get our appliances, cabinets and fixtures before we start the New Years Eve Countdown to 2022.

With all the regulations starting to lift, we are planning some in person events coming real soon.  A cider tasting, a tour of a renovated member showroom plus our year end celebration.  We will also continue our Wednesday Wraps with and some virtual guest speakers to keep connected for those members that are still playing it safe or just too busy to go anywhere.  Keep an eye out for emails and social media posts about all our great virtual and in person events!!

I also would like to hear from you about what is happening in your designer world.  Any new trends or ideas you are using?   Suggestions on how you answer those extended lead time questions?   Send me an email to presidentnkbankbawi@gmail.com or MikeS@Gerhardsstore.com.   Looking forward to hearing from you.

Have a great rest of the summer and see you soon!!

Go Bucks!

Go Brewers!
