Hi Everyone,
I wanted to thank Patti & Cindy for putting on such a wonderful program for all of us this past Thursday and Friday. There were so many great ideas put forward during our sessions I am sure the information will be invaluable in the year to come.
I did however; forget to mention one thing at dinner Thursday evening. I would like to challenge each President to put together a team of 4 board members or affiliates to represent their board in the Merrymeeting Board of Realtor’s Habitat for Humanity Golf tournament to be held on June 26th at the Bath Country Club. Last year we raised over $15,000 for the Seven River Habitat for Humanity. This money went directly into a build here in Maine.
It’s truly a wonderful day and a great course to play. If you personally don’t play “Whack & Walk” as I call it, don’t worry about it. It’s a scramble and we play best ball. Besides it’s not about winning…..awww heck what am I talking about, it’s all about winning and the biggest winner is some needy family and Habitat for Humanity.
If you would like more information please send Linda Dupuis an email at linda@allenselig.com and she will get you the necessary form to fill out. I hope to see all of you there!
