Oh What a Night!

Well it wasn't late December back in '63 but it was a fabulous night in October of '09. The Affiliate Table Top and Expo was an incredibly fun evening. The affiliate sponsors really pulled out all the stops and we were able to give away great prizes about every 15 minutes! The winner of the 2010 Association Dues and MLS Fees was Ronda Hall. We were very excited to have the MAPS3 booth- we need to get this legislation passed! We had 25 booths and 27 sponsors. We had several new booths this year and the Marriott was just a great facility- lots of room, great food and beverage!

Congrats to my staff for pulling off this expanded and upgraded event. OVER 200 members were in attendance! Kelli McNeal, your Marketing & Communications Director, said she would do a dance if we hit over 200. I think I missed the dance but the entire staff was smiling from ear to ear to be able to offer a benefit to our REALTOR and Affiliate members that was so well received. We also raised awareness and money for RPAC and one of our signature charities, Heartline/211. We hope next year to increase by 10 more booths and at least 100 more members.

Thank you to all the participants- you brought so much value to the event!

I realize I have far over-used the exclamation point in this posting but I can't help but exclaim about this event. Thank you to the OKCMAR Board of DIrectors & RCA executive board for your fabulous attendance rate. It was wonderful to have such a strong leadership presence there.

We will be sending out an online evaluation form in the next day or so to those who participated. Please take a minute to fill it out so that we can have an even better event next year.

Someone said to me - - "This is OKCMAR? Not OAR?" They were REALLY impressed, as was I!

It was a nice event - good to see the Affiliates strong showing.

Could have allowed more people to win by making it necessary to be there for the drawing and only getting to win one item per person.

Fun to introduce our newest Associate to the Affiliates and other Realtors.

You all did an amazing job!

Thanks,

Thanks Kathy- Several other members expressed to me that the particpants should be present to win- so we have that written down for next year.

I am very happy you enjoyed the event!

Kelli McNeal advised me that she performed a jig for her team and OKCMAR Treasurer, Julie Stephens!
