2010 Garage Build The Little Traverse Association of Home Builders “Garage Build” is an annual event to promote the building trades programs at the four school districts in our membership area: Boyne City, Charlevoix, Pellston & Petoskey. This year marks the 10th year of successful “Garage Builds.” Thanks to the tireless effort of Association volunteers and the donations of 75 businesses and individuals, 2009 was another huge success and the programs received over $8,300.00 from the Little Traverse Association of Home Builders. The two-car garage is auctioned by silent bid in the spring. The building trades students, with the supervision of their instructors and Association volunteers, will frame, roof, side, secure and electrify the garage for the winning bidder prior to the conclusion of the school year. The proceeds from the winning bid sale and sponsorships will be distributed equally among the above schools. The schools’ funds may be used at the discretion of the building trade instructors for education materials, shop equipment, carpentry tools and post-graduation scholarships. Monetary donations of any size may be pledged now and collected at a later date via invoice from the Little Traverse Association of Home Builders. For those wishing to donate building materials, materials will be collected prior to construction. Your participation in this important fund raiser is vital to its continued success and the development of the next generation of builders.
