Atlantic Chapter

Atlantic Chapter busy with exciting projects

We are working on some great projects that will benefit HPBAC Atlantic members...

• Technical Sales Training Course slated for fall
• Ongoing Membership Development
• Home Builders Dinner Presentation done jointly with WETT-New Brunswick
• Publishing a hearth magazine for the Atlantic Provinces with Saltscapes

The hearth magazine project is going very well. We are currently compiling the editorial portion of the first issue of East Coast Home & Hearth. We've nearly sold out our advertising space. The issue goes to press in October and will distributed with Saltscapes magazine and all HPBAC Atlantic members will receive copies for distribution to their customers.

Atlantic Chapter Events

During the month of May we held a major Membership Drive in conjunction with our AGM and Training Day. Due to the success of this day-long event, organized and co-sponsored by HPBAC Atlantic Chapter, WETT NB and three of the Atlantic distributors – Compact Appliances, Kerr Controls and Powrmatic, it was hoped that we would get some attention – and as we found out we did. Nine new members is something to brag about in our small area. Thanks to all who helped make the day a great success.

The successful event, which featured Tom Pugh’s Fireplace Design Workshop, the WETT N.B. AGM and the HPBAC-AC AGM, as well as lunch, golf and a BBQ supper, was well received with over 130 people attending. Unfortunately the golf tournament was rained out but Texas Hold’em was the name of the game during the afternoon at the Sackville Golf Club! A total of $160 was raised for the local Food Bank.

A Fantastic BBQ supper was provided and I think everyone saw value in the day. The more members we can get and keep, will provide us with the opportunity to plan more days like this – a member benefit to us all.
