Have you considered The Women's Council of REALTORS?  The Women's Council chapter in St. Augustine, Florida is part of a 245-chapter national association that dates to 1938. In today's changing marketplace-with demanding customers and tough competition-you can't do it alone. Not only do you need to be connected to the top professionals in the industry, but also to the cutting-edge training, real estate industry information and wealth-building strategies that will build your business and secure your future.

We hold our monthly meetings on the first Thursday of each month at Carabbara's Italian Grill in the Cobblestone Village shopping center on State Highway 312 in St. Augustine.  Networking starts at 11:30 with the Program and Lunch following at Noon.  Our next meeting is March 6, 2008.
