We have done so much so far. We have had some great meetings. Dorothy Saviste and her networking presentation was one of my favorites. Sharyl has done a great job with her team to bring in new members and working to bring back some former ones. We still need more Realtor members to keep our ratios up. Had a great time at Blue Pointe this last week. Thanks to Jean Vogel for setting it up. Speaking of Jean, she and I spent a few days in Washington DC in May at the NAR Mid Year Convention. This is where much of the National WCR work is done. We were able to participate in great classes, networking, etc. We also got to go to some fabulous restau- rants. This month we celebrated our District V annual meeting at Paseo with a challenging and inspiring panel of our own superstars and then State President spoke. She gifted each of us with an insulated tumbler with her motto “Dream, Believe, Achieve.” Recently we had a Shred Day. I think this would be a great service project/fund raiser for our chapter each year. We all have papers that need to be shredded better than what the home shredders do. I’m excited about the event that Inge is planning for July 13 th . Stay tuned and plan to be involved. Come to the monthly business meetings, be involves, maximize the benefits of your mem- bership.

Our Membership Drive hosted by Plantation was very timely - just look at how new construction is taking off! This past week- end our chapter hosted the first "Shred Day" interfacing community ser- vices such as security for business and home, safety/security advisors from South Trail and Iona McGregor Fire Districts, drop off for clothing and household items through church sponsored Thrift Shop, Teen Chal- lenge carwash, and Miracle Children Network presentation by Michael Frye of Re/Max Realty Group who donated the parcel for the event, fur- thered sponsored by Amerivest Realty, Pat Huether and Sharyl Leifeld.

Message from your President
It’s hard to believe 2013 is half way over! We have done so much
so far. We have had some great meetings. Dorothy Saviste and her
networking presentation was one of my favorites.
Sharyl has done a great job with her team to bring in new members
and working to bring back some former ones. We still need more
Realtor members to keep our ratios up.
Had a great time at Blue Pointe this last week. Thanks to Jean Vogel
for setting it up.

Year Convention. This is where much of the National WCR work is done. We were able
to participate in great classes, networking, etc. We also got to go to some fabulous restau-

our chapter each year. We all have papers that need to be shredded better than what the
