Over this past weekend (July 11th-13th 2008) I attended the Women's Council of Realtors Influential Women's Summit and it was amazing.  The events started the evening of the 11th with a welcome reception which gave us a great opportunityto network with several hundred Realtors from across the Nation.  Saturday morning was kicked off by a Most Influential Women in Real Estate Panel that was moderated my NAR's own Pat V Combs.  These women gave insight into how they got to where they are, truly amazing! 

The rest of Saturday and Sunday were breakout sessions with topics such as: From Sales agent to Manager~is it in you, How to become a woman of influence in your community, The web 2.0 and so many more.  Robin Waters also addressed us on a topic she calls The Hummer and The Mini which discussed trends and counter trends.

All and all it was an amazing event with top notch speakers.

Storm season is fast approaching and there are several things the Citrus County Sheriffs Dept would like you to do.

1.)  go www.floridadistaster.org and print out a disaster plan for residential and commercial.  It is a really neat program.  You fill out the info and it will print you out exactly what you will need during a disaster.

2.) go to www.sheriffcitrus.org and sign up for code red weather.  If there are any storms or tornados approaching you will get a phone call at any number you choose (home, office, cell).

3.) Visit any Sheriff Sub station and pick up your re-entry sticker.  Each area has a different color and number, if you have been evacuated, you will not be allowed back in your neighborhood without the sticker.

If you have any questions you can call 352-746-6555
