FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA BUILDERS EXCHANGE (CCBE) CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE ARCHITECTURE, CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING (ACE) MENTOR PROGRAM THROUGHOUT CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
FRESNO, Calif., (August 2nd 2010) – The Central California Builders Exchange is seeking Mentors to participate in this year’s ACE Mentor Program. The ACE Mentor Program of Central California is a not-for-profit organization that helps prepare high school students for careers in design and construction through mentoring. This program just completed one of the most successful pilot program years on record. Because of this unprecedented success, the program looks to triple in size and service area for the 2010-2011 year. In line to participate are Design Science, Edison, Duncan Polytechnical, Hoover, Liberty (Madera), Clovis and Kerman High Schools.
A partnership between schools, architects, engineers, construction management companies, trades and professional organizations, ACE awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships to students graduating from programs in California in 2010. The Central California Builders Exchange continues to support and promote these partnerships to further develop a qualified and motivated workforce for the generations to come. The ultimate reward being a sustainable influence on the entire community and building industry as a whole.
Stephanie McShane, Division Manager for local firm A-C Electric, said this about her first year mentoring: “What a rare and wonderful opportunity for these two groups to interface in such a positive way. It enables us to steer some wonderful young minds toward a career in our industry. I will definitely be part of it again next year.”
Participating Companies/Mentors adopt a group of 15 to 30 students for the school year and introduce them to careers in the design and construction industries. Programs in California enrolled close to 1,000 students this year. Students and their mentors meet 15 times a year to work on a design project that is presented at the end of the season. The program concludes with the fundraising luncheon where scholarships are presented to the high school seniors who plan to further their education and pursue careers in these industries.
The Central California Builders Exchange and ACE will hold an information night for all interested parties on August 17 at 4:00 p.m. at the Central California Builders’ Exchange. For Information, please contact: Roxanne Greenwood at 559.237.1831 or Roxanne@cencalbx.com.

SUMMER SIZZLED WITH SCHMOOZE - A - PALOOZA AT MOLD SOLUTIONS, INC. IN MADERA ON THURSDAY NIGHT!
SUMMER SIZZLED WITH SCHMOOZE - A - PALOOZA AT MOLD SOLUTIONS, INC. IN MADERA ON THURSDAY NIGHT!
The first week of Summer took Schmooze – A – Palooza to Mold Solutions, Inc. in Madera! Nothing like the smell of BBQ Chicken and Ribs catered by Famous Dave’s to get people to come out and enjoy an evening of good food, good drinks and good SCHMOOZING! In a continual effort to advocate collaboration of the industry and bring all of the players to the table and work together we are organizing monthly networking / mixer events. These events are being held at various locations throughout Central California and sponsored by our Members. This is a direct way for us to reach out to our members in a fun interactive environment and discuss the needs of their respective organizations and the industry as a whole.
Our goals with the Schmooze – A – Palooza events are to:
• Bring the construction industry together throughout the Central California region.
• Continue to build relationships within the Construction community and promote the industry as a whole.
• Keep our finger on the pulse of our Members needs so we can adjust and grow to fit those needs.
• Build relationships amongst our members who can benefit from utilizing each other’s resources as well as the resources available to them through CCBE to be successful.
• Enjoy food, drinks and of course Schmoozing!
Thanks to our sponsor for June Mold Solutions, Inc. we were under the big top with SCHMOOZE – A – PALOOZA for a summer time BBQ in Madera on Thursday Evening. Mold Solutions, Inc. was gracious enough to sponsor and host this event for our Members and Guests to enjoy good drinks, good food and a great time! The Mold Solutions, Inc. team had a huge tent set up to shield guests from the 95 degree heat along with the soothing sounds of oldies playing in the background. We also had the full support of the Mold Solutions, Inc. team as they joined in the festivities and mingled amongst the guests.
This was the perfect way to take advantage of a sunny afternoon by coming out to socialize with others in the industry. There was a continual slide show playing in the background screening pictures from the CCBE Golf Tournament last month. Valina Wisner, President of Mold Solutions had also donated her time and efforts to take pictures of every single golfer at the 64th annual CCBE golf tournament and created a website for everyone to view them. There was a grand prize drawing for a huge stack of CD’s donated by Valina and Mold Solutions that went to one of the lucky attendees of the mixer.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend a very special thanks to Valina Wisner and Mold Solutions for graciously sponsoring the event and allowing us to use their facilities. If it was not for the support of our Members like Mold Solutions we would not be able to hold events like this and continue to bring our industry together.
A Special Thanks to Valina Wisner and the entire Mold Solutions, Inc Team for their support in making this event a success!

MAY SCHMOOZE - A - PALOOZA AT FLASHCO IN FRESNO
FLASHCO IN FRESNO WAS THE HOST AND SPONSOR OF SCHMOOZE - A - PALOOZA IN MAY!
There is nothing like the smell of BBQ Tri-Tip and hotlinks to kick off Schmooze – A – Palooza! Flashco in Fresno set the tone for this month’s Schmooze by firing up the BBQ and bringing the mixer outdoors. In a continual effort to advocate collaboration of the industry and bring all of the players to the table and work together we are organizing monthly networking / mixer events. These events are being held at various locations throughout Central California and sponsored by our Members. This is a direct way for us to reach out to our members in a fun interactive environment and discuss the needs of their respective organizations and the industry as a whole.

• Build relationships amongst our members who can benefit from utilizing each other’s resources as well as the resources available to them through CCBE to be successful.
• Enjoy food, drinks and of course Schmoozing!
Thanks to our sponsor for May Flashco, we took to the outdoors with SCHMOOZE – A – PALOOZA for a spring time BBQ in Fresno on Thursday afternoon. Flashco was gracious enough to sponsor and host this event for our Members and Guests to enjoy good drinks, good food and a great time! The Flashco team set up the custom BBQ trailer and had a few of their vendors on hand to display the products that they carry. We also had the full support of the Flashco team as they joined the festivities and mingled amongst the guests.
This was the perfect way to take advantage of a sunny afternoon by coming out to socialize with others in the industry. The vendors on hand donated several prizes to be given out to guests who dropped a business card in the fish bowl. From goodie bags filled with all kinds of fun stuff to work gloves, safety glasses and even a set of four tickets to a Bulldog Football Game.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend a very special thanks to Flashco for graciously sponsoring the event and allowing us to use their facilities. If it was not for the support of our Members like Flashco we would not be able to hold events like this and continue to bring our industry together.
