Woods is Everywhere!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
As of late, Woods Basement Systems has been all over the St. Louis Metro-Area meeting with friends, customers

and the general community. We were really excited when HGTV came to town to film Rebuilding Together - St. Louis's remodel. Woods was glad to be asked to offer some of their time and services to help remodel The Windsor Transitional House, which is shelter for homeless veterans. Pictured left to right is Dave Thompson from Woods Basement Systems, Doug McCullauley from Mosby Building Arts, Kevin Howard from Rebuilding Together - St. Louis, and Alex Mosby from Mosby Building Arts.

Woods, along with NARI (the National Association of the Remodeling Industry) helped take this home from barely livable to a comfortable, safe home for the local veterans.

On the subject of NARI, Woods employees also participated in the Annual NARI Golf Outing at Greenbriar Golf Course in Kirkwood. The golf outing is NARI's largest yearly fund raiser, so we were glad to spend time with friends and help the NARI organization at the same time! (Our team actually won first place!)

Also in the busy month of June, Woods participated in the First Annual Collinsville Relay For Life! If you haven't heard of Relay For Life, it is an event that helps raise money for the American Cancer Society with funds going towards cancer research, education and the needs of current cancer patients (such as rides to doctors appointments, wigs, etc.).

This cause is something very near and dear to us at Woods because many of us have either been effected directly or have a family member that has been effected by Cancer.

Woods held many events to help raise money for this cause, such as a trivia night, a paintball tournament, a golf tournament and even an 80s movie night!

At the relay, the weather was a scorching 101 degrees at 7pm when it began! Around 9pm, it started pouring raining and we had to move all of the campsites into the gym at Son Life Church in Collinsville. It was such a fun, unpredictable experience, that we cannot wait to do it again next year!

Coming up on the calendar, we are all looking forward to raising money and participating at the upcoming 2009 Alzheimer's Memory Walk in September at SIU-Edwardsville's Campus. Hopefully we'll have some nice weather!
