Hi Everyone,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
This is my first letter to you and I hope that I remember to tell you everything that is going on.
Just returned from the Colorado Association of REALTOR’S Convention and it was very good. There were a lot more sessions for the REALTOR’S this year. Many had to do with furthering your business and taking it to another level. If you have not attended a convention I would suggest going next year. It will be held at Keystone, September 15-17th. Hope you can attend, you will have fun and learn a lot.
Last Tuesday I attended the Ceremony of Champions and Four Corners Board of Realtors received a plaque for meeting our goal for RPAC. Brenda Bates received her acknowledgement of REALTOR of the Year. Congratulations again, Brenda.

RPAC
Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: REALTORS® raise and spend money to elect candidates who understand and support their interests. The money to accomplish this comes from voluntary contributions made by REALTORS®. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS® in recognition of how important campaign fundraising is to the political process. RPAC doesn’t buy votes. RPAC enables REALTORS® to support candidates that support the issues that are important to their profession and livelihood.
