For over 15 years the Frederick Rescue Mission has been trying to solve their drain and pavement concerns. Rolled ankles, breathing in dust, flooding conditions, and safety concerns were a way of life for the residents, staff, and volunteers. As FCBIA Executive Officer Danielle Adams toured the property with the intent of a carpet or paint project, gears shifted quickly to this challenge, and how our FCBIA members can help.
 County-wide you will find business after business hailing from the building industry lining high school football fields or little league fences with sponsorships. Participate in a 5K or community charity event and our logos and members are at the top tier level of support. Humanitarianism runs deep in the Building Industry’s DNA - especially here in Frederick. Despite our sometimes less-than-generous public perception, we remain the most generous in supporting the community we call home.
 The Frederick County Women in Trades officially began its mission with the unveiling of its new logo during CTC’s Open House last month. The Women in Trades initiative is a joint venture between representatives from Frederick County’s construction industry, CTC, and FCC to educate, encourage and support young women in careers in the construction trades.
 A beautiful day for a wonderful cause was Sunday, October 23, at Elk Run Winery in Mount Airy. The Professional Women in Building Council hosted a family-friendly event in the fall vineyard, supporting the Justice & Recovery Advocates. A final tally and check presentation will be determined soon, but overall the event was a HUGE success. Many thanks to our generous sponsors, and a special shout out to Kourtney Roman of Empire Photography for her hard work in organizing the event.
