The York County Chapter is in operation, meaning that MHISC now has six chapters. The group met Tuesday and had a good turn-out. Kristen and I reported on issues impacting members, including the large number of community managers in the York Chapter.
MHISC members from York and Lancaster County are served by the chapter and, as with all chapters, all MHISC members are welcome.
Since the area is a smaller market with less companies and not as many hot issues, the chapter plans to meet less often than the standard monthly or every-other-month schedule the other chapters follow.
Besides the Rock Hill-based chapter, MHISC has chapters for the Upstate, Midlands, Pee Dee, Charleston, and Beaufort areas.

Attaboy, Attaway
The MHISC staff presented a lot of useful information at this month's Upstate Chapter meeting. But, as usual, the staff learned even more from the members.
Allen put together a Powerpoint on how to make the most of the $8000 Homebuyer Tax Credit for selling manufactured homes. Having an attorney on the MHISC staff is a great asset to the association and the members.
I did a piece on the new Energy Star tax incentive which kicks in July 1.
As part of the program, Vance McMillan from Schult Homes explained to members what's involved in setting up a home to qualify for Energy Star.
The final piece of the program was presented by Randy Attaway, manager of Clayton's Anderson home display center. Randy talked about how to market Energy Star homes. Randy gave a very thoughtful and interesting talk.
In Mr. Attaway's view, the industry should be promoting the super-energy efficient homes whether there's a tax break or not. Intelligent customers, higher end customers, are familiar with Energy Star and immediately impressed. The low monthly power bills will continue to build customer satisfaction and good word-of-mouth about our product for years to come.

After the Flood
People actually read these things. And they like to let you know when you've been slack keeping your blog up-to-date.
Our email at home is up and running for the first time since the flood. The water ruined the floors downstairs and also took out an HVAC unit.
I always pictured Upward Mobility as something to write at home at the end of the day. A few pithy words on the most important thing that happened in the manufactured home industry on that particular day.
No more excuses.
