THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

This has been a week that has warmed my heart! Just now I received the news that Don & Susanna Lorg will be blessing our Brokers Quarterly dinner with a duet during our invocation. I hear their harmony is just spectacular. We had many, many new volunteers (as well as those we can always count on) as electoral judges and auction workers, & the Call for Volunteers for the COBHA Home & Garden booth workers filled up within days- the fastest and best response I have received since my two year tenure! THANK YOU, THANK YOU OKCMAR MEMBERS FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR ASSOCIATION!!!!!!

Every time we band together as a united front for a greater cause- be it through involvement in leadership, raising funds to continue to lobby for private property rights and home ownership incentives and support positive legislation, presenting information the consumers need to know about REALTOR services we raise and protect the professionalism of our industry. An association only has as much value as members are willing to contribute. We could have all the money and technology in the world but that doesn't give the association value. ONLY YOU, the member can give and take value to and from the association.

For many years outside forces have sought to devalue the REALTORS' importance in the real estate transaction and to devalue our professionalism. We are licensed, educated professionals but most importantly we are organized professionals through our association. It is our duty and obligation to maintain the integrity of our profession. I am so proud of all of you who stepped forward this month with RPAC contributions and contributions of your time and talent. It makes me so proud to be affiliated with OKCMAR. Thank you again.
