Also recognized at the meeting were W. Reece Brown, Ryan Hutcheson and

Russel Troesken, three area residents who are recipients of 2004 Lewis

Cenker Scholarships. These scholarships, a statewide program of the Home

Builders Association of Georgia, are named for Lewis Cenker, a Georgian

who served as 1972 president of the National Home Builders Association.

The Cenker awards go only to students who are currently enrolled in building

industry related studies.

Speaker for the meeting was State Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, who is a member

of the Midwest Georgia association and a current candidate for a Congressional

seat. Telling the group that he is "proud to be a builder," Westmoreland

said that people in the building industry are like "a family." He

advised the scholarship recipients to use their opportunity for an education "to

the best of your ability." He urged the students to "get the

best education you can."

Sponsors of the association meeting were Atlanta Gas Light and North

Georgia Brick/Corinthian Stone.

The Home Builders Association of Midwest Georgia serves builders in

Fayette, Coweta, Spalding, Meriwether, Heard, Pike, Upson, Lamar, Butts

and Jasper counties. More information about the group can be obtained
