Company Announcements

Congratulations to Steven Van Eman from our Dallas office on his marriage to Whitney Rae on October 27. Here's to a lifetime of happiness!

Our commercial division was recently awarded three contracts for Texas State Veterans Home projects located in Floresville, Bonham, and Big Spring. Combined the project value is just over $5MM and includes nurse station upgrades, bathroom remodels, vestibule addition, roofing, dining remodels, special system upgrades, and mechanical updates. Great job on winning the bids!

J&S was a sponsor of the Houston Independent School District Foundation 2012 Golf Tournament held on October 17 at Wildcat Golf Course. The golfers pictured were J&S's own Ed McKenzie and Rob Peterpaul with guests Victor Fleming, Bob Kuhn, Marcus Swayzer, Israel Wong and Scott Fendrick and some unknown ringer who stepped up at the last minute with a 4 handicap. Lisa Blonshine was present in the background with beer support for our other handicapped challenged players.

Our Galveston office was recently selected by the Port of Galveston to do an exterior wall restoration, roof replacement, window replacement, and related renovation work to the cruise ship terminal one garage and walkway bridge. The Galveston region also won a bid at Galveston College for the renovation of two single-story buildings and to do site improvements on the VTTC Campus. Congratulations on the winning bids!

There were also successful bids on the JOC side of J&S. Our Austin office was chosen as one of four contractors for the City of Austin JOC program, and our Dallas office was selected as one of the contractors for the City of Dallas JOC. Congrats to both offices! Keep up the hard work!

Halloween 2012 marked the beginning of our special J&S holiday celebrations. In an effort to give gifts and thanks that really stand out to our clients, we decided to buck tradition and ditch the Christmas cards. We have designated two holidays per year as J&S holidays with the first one being Halloween. All the offices participated by delivering Halloween cans of popcorn to their clients. Renee Leaman and Genoveva Rodriguez were the deliverers for the Austin office, and they decided to really get into character! Stay tuned for pictures from our St. Patrick's Day deliveries!

J&S sponsored a team for the United Way
Golf Tournament on Oct. 6 in San Antonio. The tournament was hosted by Visionary Properties (Visionworks), which is one of our clients. The team of four included Mark Lane, the director of our retail division.

J&S hosted a reception on October 22 to support the Houston Community College 2012 bond referendum, as well as a reception on October 25 to support the 2012 Houston ISD bond referendum. Both bonds were passed in the election.
