Voices from the Flood: Wendell, Michelle, the Flood Survivors and Volunteers Party!

This party was given by

my friends:
Ft. Atkinson flood victims
living along Milwaukee St.
to thank those who helped them
during the Rock River Flood of 2008.

The pictures,

the words and thoughts in the videos linked in this blog

of those who were there in the bad times and the good

are a powerful reminder of what we all value-

Community, family, friends, neighbors and gratitude.

Home.

Wendell (finally) looks rested.

Michelle and volunteer/coordinator Vicki Sherman
were enjoying the well-deserved day.

And at this party, everyone was your friend!

Plenty of dancing...

And of course, you have to stay hydrated...

...Don't let all those beans scare you...

(...Who really wants these shovels back-but the loan of the tools were appreciated!)

Ultimately,

Sharing is part of what brings us closer together.

And what a perfect day to share!

...And of course, relax on a sandbag sofa!

The day wasn't nearly long enough

to recount the memories from the flood, let alone make room to remember the celebration!

Not that all the memories are good ones-

But Wendell and Michelle look forward to working on their lawn-

and their near-normal lives.

And that is great for now-I was glad I could help in any way.

WRA 2008 FALL CONVENTION:Survived!But now-Golf for CHARITY?

The WRA convention was great.

The mood was realistic, but not down.

There was plenty of talk about

staying safe on the job,

what to do with expired listings,

and how to keep sellers thinking logically.

I just recovered!

And now....

(http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/sports-golf.shtml)

I am going golfing tomorrow.

I don't golf, but my RE/MAX

clients do.

Thank Heavens it's for the

Childrens Miracle Network!

In the meantime, you better back up a bit...(!)

I will be at a RE/MAX GOLF event through Thursday evening, September 11th.

If you need immediate help to set up your account, order a tour or need technical/email support, please call Obeo at 1-800-729-6236.

WRA FALL 2008 CONVENTION:View from the booth

I love my clients.

Realtors.

...and I mean it.

Aside from keeping the roof up

(and making sure I am fed and watered)

they provide me with an endless stream

suggestions for continuous improvement.

And in these times, who does not need to

keep moving, keep changing, keep up

-just keep on keeping on.

I have yet to see a Realtor in the past three days-

or just about as long as I can remember-

that did not smile when they talked about their profession.

Oh sure,there were some sad smiles.

Exasperated smiles.

Toothy grins.

(Some, topped with a wink!)

Thanks, gang-the view from the booth is great.

And I am glad I do not have to wish you were here!

Come by and say:

"Have a nice day."

and get a free Obeo Homesite-I have two today.

Better still, if you buy an Obeo Homsite, we will

give you a free Obeo StyleDesigner!

And the best news: Verl Workman is here

to help you get your geek on with Free RE tech seminars all day!

Stop by!

WOW-WRA! What a day and a night and a morning......

Speaking easy comes naturally to Realtors, I think.

There sure were some fancy dancers!

...and all that leads to WOW!

Off the golf course and outta the classes.

Get a thousand Realtors together and stand back!

You might even do (a little) business while you have fun.

There was no prohibition on either at the Roaring 20s Icebreaker.

A lot of people dressed to the nines or better,

getting reacquainted, introduced,

hugged, laughed at and with.

A whole lot of joy.

Add some good food and drink...

...for some people this morning it was a little more like

.0w

Present party included.

If you would like a free tour,

come see me in booth 65,

and say:

"Ow."

It won't hurt.

I promise!

Thanks for stopping by,

WELCOME TO THE WRA FALL 2008 CONVENTION!

REALTORS ROCK!

Welcome to your YOUR convention!

Your time to get some CE done,
get reacquainted with your friends from across the state,

stay up a little too late,
(get up WAY too early;)

and celebrate another trip around the sun.

The past year?

Incredible:

-nearly a third of the state is a FEMA disaster area touched by flooding and storms,

-nationally, 500,000 Realtors made no money last year-

and the market is being eaten by the Bear(s)(!)

But you are still here.

Celebrate it-

REAL ESTATE IS CRAZY, BUT YOU'RE NOT!



(Check back here every day during the convention.)

To help out the celebration,

Obeo will be giving away free Obeo tours and StyleDesigners

EVERY DAY-STARTING SUNDAY, SEPT. 7th

Just find the magic words at this blog, come see me at our booth,

-and they are for the first two Realtors there-first come, first serve:

(I'll be at the booth 4 p.m.on Sunday.)

...Oh, the magic words for Sunday are:
REALTORS ROCK!
