I have begun having some contact with several of the Birmingham Area Non-profits. Birmingham and its surrounding areas have a tremendous amount of them. A lot of hard work goes in to sustaining them and funding them so that their "mission" can be accomplished. I know this because I have seen so many of you in action, have spoken to a number of founders and volunteers, and because I began my "working life" at an inner-city non-profit here in the Birmingham area.

For this, I applaud each and every one of them. Over these next few weeks, I will be spotlighting a couple of them, and I feel compelled to continue this as a regular part of both of our blogs.

As part of this spotlight, I will give you the opportunity to share your "mission," what your are trying to accomplish, ways you can be contacted, and ways one might be able to contribute whether it be by time or any other means.

So, here's the invitation Birmingham Area Non Profits, please either contact me via email or via a comment on this blog. I will look forward to talking to, meeting, and sharing your vision.

We both know that Birmingham and its surrounding areas are very generous in their time and resources. Sometimes, though, they just don't know where to focus their efforts. My goal, by doing this, is to put our some arrows that will point the way to a place where they can have a shared vision and a shared purpose. When this happens, great things are sure to follow. 

Hopefully, through a combined effort, we can bring more attention and support to what you are trying to accomplish.

I wish you all great success and accomplishment throughout this new year and beyond!

To my fellow RE bloggers... I would suggest to you all that you consider doing something like this as well if you can fit it in on your blogs. There is so much need out there and we can be more that just real estate agents, we can be part of something bigger, we can be part of greater solution. We can make a difference that is so much bigger than we are. Please join me...

Stephen  - It is so important to give back to the community.  I find volunteering is a great way to get to know the people in the community.  best wishes.

Jennifer.... you are right. I did not mean to neglect saying that we can also find a place to volunteer. All of us have something to offer, not just our blogs, and we need to find somewhere to do or give something.

Stephen, It's admirable of you to put out this offer to the non-profit organizations in your area.  They will benefit by your highlighting them on your blog and that can only be good for everyone,

Hello Stephen.........

I am sorry that we weren't able to get together when I was in Birmingham.

I am firmly convinced that that the mortgage acceleration progam is the wave of the future. Take a  look at the links that I sent to you, discuss them with Jason, and get back to me.

Best wishes,

RJ

Stephen I think this is a great idea.  You are absolutely right... it is difficult for them.  I'm sure they are very appreciative for any assistance they can get.
