Construction Junction - Building Material Reuse

December 21- December 27, 2009

From CJ's Executive Director

Happy Holidays

Reuse, Reuse, Rejoice!  I suppose if we had been too clever for our own good we would have spelled it “Rejoist”… special thanks to Board Member Patricia Tsagaris (Pinkhaus Design Communications) for designing this very cool holiday take on our logo.

All of the staff and Board of Directors at Construction Junction would like to sincerely express our deep appreciation of everyone who supports this organization through your donations and purchases.

This has been a difficult year for many families and businesses.  We are fortunate and humbled to share that this will be CJ’s most successful sales year.  With a 14% increase in sales over last year and nearly 45,000 purchases (up 50%), we enter our second decade of operation with much optimism and big plans for more reuse.

Plans include: 1) our LEED building renovation that'll help us promote and support reuse regionally and strengthen our East End community, 2) expanding our deconstruction operation to include a job training and fee for service component as its primary growth engine, and 3) further enhancing our annual fundraiser, the Steel City Big Pour, which supports our technology goals.

Here's to a very happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

-- Michael Gable

The CJ Buzz

We got in a boat load of matching and very nice kitchen sets.  The first set we put out on the sales floor sold in an instant (see Great and Gone).  We have both large and small sets avaialable and will be restocking them continuously.  See an example of a large set in the Featured Items section of this e-Blast.  If you've been in the market for a new kitchen set... now might be the right time to check out what CJ has available.
