From the President
The new year is upon us. Let
the Milwaukee/NARI Chapter
help you make it a great year!
How could NARI help me you
ask? Are you planning that
long awaited or overdue home
maintenance project? Has your
family been cramped in the
home that you love, but just
need more space? How about
Greg Adamec
Milwaukee/NARI President that 1975 kitchen that could use
some new features? The Milwaukee/NARI professionals can help. From simple
landscapes to a full house remodel, we can help. It
all starts with a plan. At Milwaukee/NARI, we have
been planning on how we can help. From our
many free seminars held at our newly remodeled
headquarters in Wauwatosa to our 53rd annual
Spring Home Improvement Show at the Wisconsin
Exposition Center at State Fair Park, our profession-
als are on standby.
Join us at the State Fair Exposition Center for the
53rd Annual Milwaukee/NARI Spring Home Improvement Show February 12th – 15th. “The Seminar &
Demonstration Stage” will feature local and national
talent, stop by to hear them speak about current
remodeling industry trends, while local talent cooks
up a storm on the “Callen Constrution Culinary Kitchen Stage”. Relax in the lounge area each morning
with complimentary hot coffee (while supplies last)
and be sure to stroll through the “Outdoor Living
Area”, featuring the Wayside BBQ Pub & Grill. Kids will
have the chance to meet and take photos with Gerry
the NARI Carpenter Ant while homeowners have the
chance to visit over 300 contractors exhibiting on
the Expo floor. Local Certified Professionals will be
available to answer your remodeling questions at
the Milwaukee/NARI Information booth. Attend this
year’s Show and put a little love in your home.
