May 31, 2008 is our annual surplus sale.  This year’s sale will be held at the Habitat Restore on Plaza Dr. on Saturday, May 31, 2008 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

    
“Our members have generously donated surplus items to be sold at this sale.”  Said Valerie Krause, Executive Officer of the SWMHBA. “All unsold items will then be donated to the Habitat Restore.  We are looking forward to building a stronger relationship with the Habitat for Humanity.  We have a lot of members who want to be more involved, and we are working towards that goal".

    
June 6, 2008 marks the date of a new event we are very excited about.   The SWMHBA will be raffling a brand new, 2008 Harley-Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail Classic 105th Anniversary Edition Motorcycle.  2,000 tickets are now available for purchase at $20 each.  The drawing date is scheduled to be held at 5:00 PM on June 6, 2008 at the SWMHBA office.  You need not be present to win.

    July 26 through August 3rd is our annual Parade of Homes Showcase.  Last year there were 18 custom built & remodeled homes scattered throughout Michigan’s Great Southwest.  We are looking forward to having as many this year if not more.  The parade opens Thursday the 26th of July with our annual Business after Hours for the Chamber of Commerce.  Hours are Thurs. & Fri. 6 – 9 PM, Sat. 12 – 8 PM and Sun. 12 – 6 PM.
