Omaha Real Estate     Contributed by David Matney with Alliance Real Estate

Everyone is well aware of the recent tragedy in Omaha.  One of the victims was Beverly Flynn with NP Dodge.  NP Dodge has stepped up to the plate and is established a fund to support her family.  Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to work directly with Beverly in a transaction but from what I have read she was a very nice person.  I have also read that when Beverly sold a home to a new buyer she planted a rose in their front yard to commemorate the event.

Recently, the MLS committee voted to rebate/refund the MLS dues to the membership for the month of January.  I propose that those funds be donated to Beverly's family instead.  I believe that would be a better use of those funds.  I do not know the "bylaws" or the "rules" of the MLS committee but this just seems to me like the right thing to do in light of what we have just went through.

I believe we have over 2,700 members of the MLS.  At $30 per person that adds up to over $80,000.  I read that Beverly had three daughters and maybe this might help send them to college. 

Thank you,
