KALAMAZOO, Mich., Sept. 6, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Lindal Cedar Homes is honoring one of southern Michigan's most active producers of luxury custom post and beam homes with its Founder's Circle Award. On September 9th, Lindal founder, Sir Walter Lindal, will be visiting Manitou Custom Homes in Kalamazoo to present the award for being a top dealer for the company.
This event will take place at Manitou's showcase model cedar home, where Sir Walter Lindal will present owner Ken Whipple with a plaque acknowledging membership into the Founder's Circle. Current and future Lindal homeowners have been invited to help celebrate this event. "The Founders Circle Event will give home buyers an opportunity to see our post and beam model home, to see what features we use in our homes and ask questions and learn more about Lindal Cedar Homes," says Ken Whipple. "Since we believe that every custom cedar home design is as unique as the people who choose to build them, it's a great opportunity to highlight the services we provide our customers."

"Lindal Cedar Homes is an inspiring company with an amazing product and they also share the goal of excellence with us... I am so grateful for this honor," says Ken.
