Thankful Thursday - WA Rain Camp - Whatcom County Real Estate

I am so Thankful on this Thursday for the wonderful experience of attending Active Rain's Rain Camp in Seattle, WA yesterday. It was an amazing experience. Rain Camp started at 9:00 am and lasted all day until 4:00. At this training Camp we received so much information, it is going to take me a month to go through and explore everything in my notes.  

I want to thank the entire Active Rain Staff and a special Thank You to Brad Andershon and his wonderful wife and princess for spending such an important day with us. It was their anniversary and they spent the day with us. Then still took the time to attend the VIP party after the camp.  I do hear that they went out to a nice anniversary dinner after the party.

They took the time to get to know the Active Rain members in the WA area, and talked to so many of us individually to answer questions! I returned from Rain Camp feeling like the Active Rain Staff truly cares about our success. It was a motivating experience that I will look forward to doing again, it was well worth the 3 hr drive from Whatcom County. It was a day well spent.

Happy Anniversary to Brad and his Princess, and Thank You All for Caring!

Judy,

Thank you so much for coming down from Whatcom County to join us for the day. We really appreciate it and are thrilled that you found it informative and hopefully entertaining as well!

I went to high school up in Blaine and my brothers are still up in Whatcom County. I love it up there and can see myself moving back at some point in the future. It's really where I would like to raise my family!

Thanks for sharing. I am jealous.  Isn't it great when you come away from something like that with your head spinning with ideas?  I hope we have one in Florida soon. :-)

OK now you have to make a trip to Fort Collins and give us a class. You would have a free place to stay.

Judy - I would have made the 3 hour drive for rain camp too. It looked like they had an excellent turnout for the event. Do you know approximately how many attended?
