j. Shore Builders Association recap of their FAME Awards, February 2011:
We had 190 attend, we had 9 builders companies attend, one of which brought 20 people with them. We only had 6 builders actually enter but again, they entered multiple categories. Over all we had 100 entries and 25 Million Dollar Club/Circle of Honor/Options Upgrades categories. Sadly, most of the Million Dollar club entrants were not there, I guess because they had to pay their own way $125 for the ticket was hard to do, which I get.
