I have to admit, I’m deeply appreciative and excited to …

Graduation – Reporting!
We are in that time of year when graduation exercises occur. The dictionary says that to
‘graduate means to advance from one level to another.’ The process of graduating is – as the root of the word implies – gradual. We may have a flash of insight, the ah ha! or oh, no! -moment as George Allen has put it. But usually growth is gradual, be it personal or professional graduation.
At www.MHMSM.com we are graduating! You may notice it gradually or through that ah ha experience! We will continue all of our Industry News and Views you can Use. We will
Beyond Burgers, Brats & Buns
Its Memorial Day weekend. I hope you are with family, friends and loved ones, enjoying good times. Millions in the good ole U.S. of A. will be outdoors grilling today. Burgers, brats and buns will be just part of the wide variety of lunch and dinner fare from sea to shining sea. But what is it that makes this day special?
Storm Clouds Gathering over MHCC
A letter came to my attention that was circulated via email. The letter which follows my introduction here addresses the growing concern over HUD’s ‘handling’ of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee, or MHCC. The MHCC is a critical body from the Industry’s perspective. The MHCC exists to protect the interests of both the Industry and the public, while providing safeguards for all concerned. If you are in the Industry, the MHCC is important to you!

Part of our Future for Factory Built Housing
Just as businesses need to communicate with past, present and potential clients, so too industries need to do the same. Communications has always been, is now and will always be part of the success – or failure – for any endeavor, personal or professional. So it self-evident that a key part of the future for factory built housing is going to be based on Communications.
Practical Politics: Pickup the Phone!
Last week, Don Westphal sent us an Industry Voices Guest Blog post on the topic of HR 5019. The bill past the House and is now headed on to the Senate for action.
I personally picked up the phone and my watch. It took me a total of 3 minutes to call the Capitol Switchboard’s number at (202) 224-3121, get the phone number to my representative here in IL, then call his office’s number and ask for my congressman to vote for HR 5019. They took my name and address. Painless! No apathy! No fear!
All Good Things
They say that “All good things must come to an end.” It is never fun for me to talk about endings. When the Manufactured Home Merchandiser Magazine closed last summer, it was painful…
…Every loss is a wake up call. It is a reminder to focus on what matters most and not let little things drag your time and attention away.
…If it isn’t good, if it is dying, then work to prune what needs pruning and save what you can…
