Jingle Belts

Jingles Belts© by Jane & Al Dvorak, Summit County Builders Association

Dashing to the roof
My tool bag strapped on tight
The wind is really cold
Thru Carhart’s it does slice
The plywood sheet was loose,
Wasn’t nailed down right
An as I put my right foot down
I realized my plight.

Jingle belts, jingle belts
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to cling
An icy roof today
Jingle belts, jingle belts
Jingle all the way
Down we slide, scraping hide
Crash, boom, bang, OIE-VEY!

Construction in the snow
Can be such great, great fun
You shiver in the shade
And perspire in the sun
The framing creaks and groans
As the sunshine warms it up
Your coffee turns real, real cold
And freezes in the cup.

Jingle belts, jingle belts
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to cling
An icy roof today
Jingle belts, jingle belts
Jingle all the way
Down we slide, scraping hide
Crash, boom, bang, OIE-VEY!

Happy Holidays!

Giving back to the community

It's a wonderful time of the year, the holiday season. People seem more relaxed and think more of others. We seem to be more willing to donate food and gifts or volunteer to give back to the community -- more so than any other time of the year. Why not volunteer all year long?

Here at The Builders Association of Northern Nevada, we're committed to giving back all year long. We have a philanthropic arm, the Builders Association Charity, which supports local families in need. We have a new construction career focused youth mentoring program called C-CORE. And perhaps our largest recent endeavor, we've joined forces with Homes For Our Troops to build a new accessible home for a disabled Nevada Veteran, Sgt. Gray.

Call us at (775) 329-4611 or visit us online to find out how you can contribute to these wonderful projects.

Get involved with The Builders and you'll fulfill two needs at once; you'll be supporting an industry vital to our local economy and you'll be supporting your community through out the year.
