JCM Enjoys Successful Day at Green Building Council Pig Roast





Despite the rain last Friday, we attended and participated in a successful Pig Roast in Dover, sponsored by the Green Building Council of HBA/DE. Everyone had a great time, while socializing and learning about green building. A number of our clients and business acquaintances were there, including Bob Thornton, several folks from builder firms JS Hovnanian, Bestfield, and Benchmark, and Landmark Engineering.


Our client Bob Thornton was the Chairman of the event and graciously sponsored the pig from Emmings BBQ outside Ocean City, Md. Event was outside under a large tent and attended by about 75 people. The dunk tank was nearby. Although I was initially supposed to be a dunkee, somehow I dodged that bullet, oh well.



The event theme was green building. Jim did a brief JCM powerpoint presentation and then the main speaker was Mike Luzier, President of the NAHB Research Center (the governing body of our green building program). He was tremendous, it was well accepted, one client asked me for a copy of the powerpoints. After the presentations, 4 people went into the dunk tank, and well, got dunked. Bob threw a few balls to dunk Dottie Fawcett and so did Joe.
