VOTE TN!! Early voting in person has begun. Don't let the long lines discourage you from voting. It's your civic duty and the best way to protect your rights!
Find early voting locations and hours for your county https://web.go-vote-tn.elections.tn.gov/
The Ocoee Region Builders Association needs for you to become a member! We invite you to come and be apart of this outstanding association and get involved, helping your community one project at a time! An active member will see value and if not, you will not see it anywhere else! Our members are our most important asset. Yet how many organizations act as if they really believe these words are true? Not many. These words are the clear expression of a value, and values are visible through the actions people take within the organization, not their talk. You can judge an organization's sincerity when you see members walk their talk. Nothing else matters. Seriously!

Come on down to Broad Street. ORBA is handing out treats for our tricker treaters !
Members from the Ocoee Region Builders Association had the pleasure to meet and greet with our state leaders this evening at Todd Gardenhire’s rally! State Governor Bill Lee, Senator Mike Bell, Lt. Governor Randy McNally, Chairman Bo Watson, and House Representative Mark Hall were all present! Todd Gardenhire is a great supporter of the housing industry he needs your vote!!
Getting started with Richmond Surveying, pinning for the @superiorwalls foundation on the @isaiah117housebradleypolkco getting ready to get started! 😃
There is a lot at stake!! When housing is 12-13 cents of every dollar out there!! And shelter being the second most desired, by all human-beings. Hopefully when all the dust settles and all legal votes are accounted for and the other votes removed from the count. The President, who ever that may be will work to insure that the “American Dream” stays alive!!

Thankful for our village! CC Blankinship & Sons Custom Homebuilders and Electrical and T&M Electrical came to take care of all things electrical! Richard Mantooth, Tim Tilley, Jim Blankinship, and crews you have blessed me beyond measure. I thought this group of men were one company and then I not only find out they were two - but this is the first time they have worked together. They came in with lots of laughter and went straight to work as if they had all always worked together. These are the people God is using to love each child who will walk through our doors!
