October
Meeting
Our October meeting was full of
excitement. Marilyn Maxwell from HAR
spoke on some of the free HAR Tools that are available to members. I hope you were all paying attention and
actually implemented some of her suggestions.
I took a few moments to go to the site and “plug in” on the Social
Networking options. Now when I have a
new listing or activity of any kind, a notice automatically goes out to Linked
In, Facebook and Twitter.
The big excitement began with the culmination
of our Benches and Barstools fundraiser.
Vaughan Pederson did an amazing job as Auctioneer. We had five items to sell. One of them was the precious barstool that
the children from the Women’s Center painted.
We did a “Paddles Up” auction and collected over $500 that was sent to
the center along with the stool for them to enjoy. We collected close to $2700 for the
fundraiser. A big thanks to Kim Shaw and
her boyfriend James who helped assemble the benches earlier in the year, to Lowes in Missouri City for underwriting a portion of
the lumber, to the many artists who contributed their talents, to so many
members who stepped in to help, to Bette Lemon of ReMax Southwest who let us
borrow the truck once again, and to Sharon Peterson with Charter Title who
secured spots in Town Center for display of the items, and who enlisted her
hubby Larry’s help with hauling items back and forth. Finally, thanks again to member Nikki Owen
for allowing me to stage the pieces in our office.
Chris Lesak does such a great job working with our strategic partners.
Our business luncheons allow us to network together.
