William Roberts: Great thank you.
BrokerIPTV : Let's talk about the DBR and how that stacks up against other boards?
William Roberts: Sure, absolutely. a DBR, which we really do not try to compare ourselves with the other local boards. We look at it really more as industry standard of professionalism, total ethics and so we recommend people to join a board regardless of any board, but I tell you, we are strategically located right here in Center of Denver, right underneath the shadow of the capital, as well as of course the senior county building. So, when we are see in different issues, whether the state issues or a local issues, those issues eventually affect the entire State of Colorado. So right in there I would say that the Denver Board is certainly has that advantage.
BrokerIPTV : How about members what do we looking at from members as if late?

BrokerIPTV : Residential and commercial development. Where do you see that going in 08?
William Roberts: Residential and commercial development. Despite the market conditions with the new homes starts being at all time low right now. We still see a lot of positive right now in the market. 2008, 2009 will still be stronger as it relates to commercial and residential here in Colorado.

So estimate is not including their family, along with the media, it is going to be a large spot light on the City of Denver, which would be very positive for our market. We are looking at people that may be willing to locate, relocate as well as second home, so is this the market that we can certainly capitalize on.
