Winter MeetUps are Coming

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

 

Holly jolly it's MeetUp time once again!!!  Tis the season to break out your favorite turtleneck, hop on your sled and scoot on down to a MeetUp near you!

What the heck is a MeetUp you ask?  Well, a MeetUp is an informal get together for those interested in connecting and informally hanging out with other ActiveRain members and real estate professionals in their area.  AR used to travel around the country bringing RainCamp to one city at a time and the greatest part was meeting 'Rainers face to face.  Since RainCamp is now done virtually to accommodate larger attendance, we have members orchestrate MeetUps in their areas so ‘Rainers can still get together and feel that live interaction that is so very special.

With RainCamp happening on December 5th, this round of official AR MeetUps should take place anytime between December 1st and 8th.   Any members that attend will receive 2,000 points.  I've increased this amount as it is a busy month but feel these MeetUps are super important and this tradition must be kept alive.

 

Do you have what it takes to host a MeetUp in your area? (Click this to find out more about hosting, what it entails and what is asked of you)

All MeetUp hosts will receive 5,000 points and an ActiveRain t-shirt.  Yes, 5,000!  Because of this we will only be having one host per MeetUp. In order to receive your points and shirt, you MUST host a MeetUp, blog about your MeetUp complete with pictures and email that blog post link to kerrie@activerain.com once your gathering has completed.  I am not budging on this one


Location List Coming Soon!
Check back next week for a MeetUp Location post from me highlighting all the MeetUps happening around the country....and hopefully Canada too!

 

Check out the slideshow from our Summer MeetUps...don't you want to be a part of all those happy faces??

Dear Kerrie,

Winter is nicer, because things are a little slower and you actually have time for lunch once in a while. A quick sandwich or apples from under the seat are great, but sitting down and sharing great company and a good squash soup or some other fall food sure beats that.

Kerrie   I am sending you an email.  I would be delighted to host a AR  meetup at my office/classroom at 5104 N. Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando on Febuary 13, 2013 at five o'clock .  If central Florida is available and that date sounds good, we are in.

Kerrie, I was able to attend George Souto's meetup in Cromwell, Ct.  It was good to meet some of the folks that I have been having conversations with online, for many years.  Thanks for another successful meetup event!   I look forward to spring and more opportunities for meetups!  Have a nice holiday season!

It's a good life,

Fran
