Not long ago were the days of 30,000 members, then 40,000 then 45,000...now we are on the cusp of 50,000 Active Rainers. What a great, great, great opportunity to make friends, refer business and exposure your services to the industry and public! The community as a whole boasts many years of experience, with 50,000 members, imagine each possessing 20 years experience in the sector. That would equate to 1 million years of experience!
