CRS luncheons are not just for the education!

Anyone who really knows about hot fudge and ice cream has to have two separate dishes...one for the ice cream and the other to keep the chocolate hot. Then you can can devour it slowly and enjoy really hot chocolate with each bite! The Suburban Club is famous for its hot fudge. Maybe that's why we we had such a good turnout!

The speaker was Neal Feinberg from MRIS. His picture on the computer screen was Tony Orlando in a tuxedo. He has given out Tony's autographs on occasion. Tony, I mean Neal, gave us the latest changes and updates with our MRIS system.

I was able to see some old friends and colleagues and meet a few new ones. Education is not always the reason to attend!

In the photo below is Gretchen Conley an AR member and CRS Communication's Chair, Linda Betts CRS Program Chair and  mutual friend of one of my favorite clients.  These two women were very gracious in greeting all of us and making sure we had the right name badge.

And that good looking guy with the smile is Dan Quinn CRS Treasurer and AR Member. Dan joined us for our ActiveRain lunch last month in Baltimore.

A young agent named Scott McKee introduced himself to me. He reminded me that when he first got into real estate thirteen years ago, I  was the speaker at his Fast Start class with Anne Hruby. He even remembered some of the things I shared with the class. Scott also told me he had just read my book Real Estate the Rome Way at the public library and had some really nice things to say.

CRS luncheons are not just about the education. It is a wonderful way to re-connect and meet other agents from around the area.

Dear Margaret -

Made me hungry looking at the hot fudge!  Too bad one can't reach into the monitor and get a big bite!

Have a happy day -
Lynn

Lynn, That photo of the hot fudge was at the very end of the luncheon. It looked a lot neater and a lot fuller when we started.

Yes, Margaret, I agree with you, luncheons and/or education classes are not all about the education. :)

I'm sure the education was great.  But how on earth can one be expected to pay attention to anything but the ice cream and hot fudge?

Margaret ~  What better reason to get together with well-respected peers/friends.  (Hot Fudge is one of my favorites!)

Margaret-Homemade hot fudge would be scrumptious. Better than McDonalds anyday.

Margaret, great post about the value of education and CRS! The way you reach out to new Realtors is what make you amazing. By the way, I donated one copy of the books in my last order. The Santa Fe New Mexico Public Library now has an autographed copy of Real Estate The Right Rome Way.

Gail, You are so right. So much more to learn by going to the classes. You really understand that!

Gretchen, Great meeting you and you made us all feel so welcome. Thanks.

 

Andrea. A success all the way round.

Roger, The fudge and the education are both good.

Tish, Any reason to get together is a good one. Chocolate just makes it a bit better.

 

 

Cinnamon, As long as I didn't have to worry about my hot chocolate cooling off, it was easy to pay attention.

Sharon, You bet.

 

Emily, Why aren't you so special!!!  I thank you!! That is called paying it forward.
