“Community service has always been fundamental to NEFBA’s mission,” said NEFBA President Dennis Ginder, who is president of Landon Homes. “During the holiday season, it is especially important to remember the needs of children. It has been inspiring to see the philanthropic support demonstrated by our kindhearted members.”
