Why are ActiveRain Meet-ups always a good time?
Why are ActiveRain Meet-ups always a good time? If you have attended just one AR meet-up I’d love to hear your answer. Mine, who better to listen and look up to than the people who are successful and so willing to share as those here on AR? Real estate is a tough business full of competitors who are both inside and outside our own offices. Some are good, some not so much and then there are those who are great. I believe they are great because of their willingness to share and embrace each other and not hold up a stop sign or stamp the file top secret. It’s in the sharing that we ourselves are allowed to grow and flourish as individuals.
ActiveRain Meet-ups are always a good time because of the people!

At the Maryland AR Meet-up in Ellicott City I had the pleasure of seeing some old friends, Bridget Mc Gee, Margaret Rome, Martha Brown and Rich Iarossi and making a few new ones, Andrea Bedard who I met at a previous AR Meet-up but today we had the chance to meet and talk, what a pleasure, Steve & Jan Bachman were much more light hearted than they appear in this horrible photo, I hope you can forgive me. I had such a wonderful time I almost forgot to take pictures, notice the bite out of my delicious sandwich. So I’m sharing the few I have.

I wish I had taken advantage of the opportunity and met a few others who attended, Lenn Harley, Ellie McIntire and a handful of others who honestly I did not catch their names. 19 AR Members in attendance, that speaks volumes of our hostess Margaret & Martha. Thanks ladies for bringing us all together!
Special thanks to Bridget & Margaret for not letting me miss this wonderful event.

That looks like a fun time! I can't wait for an Active Rain meet up near me.
That was an excellent turnout and sounds like fun
Diane,
I went to my first Active Rain meetup last Thursday night. We had a great time at the Restaurant in White Plains, NY. We had people from Westchester County NY as well as Fairfield County Ct
Hi Diane, sounds great, can't wait until Ocala gets its own meet up!
It sounds like a great experience. How do I find out more or connect with one in my area?
We had tried to do one of these in my area just not enough interest yet.
Diane, you had some Active Rain Rock Stars at your meet up. It is always fun to meet the people that you communicate with online. It's like meeting up with old friends!
Diane~ I missed out on a meet up in Colorado earlier this year and I'm kicking myself. I'm hoping to host an event in the Denver area some time in 2013. Just need to find a good location and pick a date!
Did I miss one in central NC? It's a busy time around here, but hope there'll be a Meet-Up nearby soon!
Because as "online" people, we have formed close relationships here in the Rain, so it's like a reunion, not a meeting
Diane, you had to have a great meet-up as you had a who's who of AR bloggers, and many that I have met as well. It is a fun time
We need to have a Meetup in Calgary. How about, Calgary realtors? Are you up for a social evening with fellow Activerain bloggers?
Diane, It sounds like you had a great time. The restaurant also looked like a fun place. If anyone out there know of Meet-ups in Metro Phoenix I would like to go and meet other Rainer's. It has to be a good my to open dialogues and network an area.
Diane, I hated to miss this one, but I do love AR meetups. Truth be told, I also like closings - and the one I had scheduled at that time could not be changed. See you at the next one!
Good for you for getting to know your fellow rainers. It's been great here in the rain and I can't say enough about the friendships I've made and true connections to some awesome professionals. Best of luck going forward!
Cheryl ~ YES! Looking forward to meeting you : )
December 3rd same time same place for another ActiveRain Meetup!
Margaret
Cheryl ~ We did have a beautiful morning!
Margaret ~ Looking forward to it!
