Builders Care - Thank you to all who participated!  
The 2015 Builders Care Program was created to provide the elderly and disadvantaged homeowners with minor repairs or upgrades that they cannot afford to do on their own. Our first project - the Colson Residence - brought together 3 sisters (92,94 and 97) to their family home after living apart for the last 15 years. We ask that our members continue to support the efforts of Builders Care by making a donation. These donations will allow the committee to continue to find projects in our community and help TBA make a difference in the lives of our residents. Click here to make a donation.
