Such a fun challenge being offered by Debe Maxwell, CRS and Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400. The most difficult part for me in participating was finding photos to use for the collage, haha. I am definitely not an expert collage maker but I followed the instructions provided by Kathy Streib and voila.  As an added bonus, perhaps I will have a prize for the person that can name the most, if not all of the Rainers in the photos!!!

In thinking about what ActiveRain means to me, it is most definitely the people. I interact daily with others in the Rain and we have a lot of fun while developing a friendship. I have been lucky enough to meet quite a few Rainers over the years whether it be through a group meetup or an individual lunch get-together. I visit the San Diego area from time to time and can always count on a nice meetup with others that are in the Rain that have become friends over the years.

When I originally joined ActiveRain back in 2010 I never thought that I would actually become friends with so many others that participate. I joined for the SEO which never really happened but perhaps one day it will come to fruition, haha. Is 12 years too long to hold one's breath or nah?

I look forward to many more years of playing in the Rain with my friends whether the SEO side of things ever comes about.  The relationships that I have built mean more to me than any amount of business ever will.  I also hope that I will get to meet many more of you in the near future.  If you are going to be in the Phoenix area, you better let me know!

AZ is one of my favorite places to visit. I enjoyed the Grand Canyon and the friendly people in many cities, including Phoenix. 

I am collecting names (for good reasons) of those "friendly" people in AZ in ActiveRain. You're one of those I would like to meet in person. See you soon! 😎

Hi Brian:

Great entry for the challenge and a wonderful collage! You are so right about the people here in our community.

I'm so glad we are friends and have met multiple times over the years, here in San Diego and in AZ.

Oh my gosh, I LOVE your collage, Brian and have to say that I favor your photo with Candice A. Donofrio and, of course, the one of Barbara Todaro - gosh how I miss her!


I loved that we had an evening together in Vegas and can't wait for the next meet up. Ray and I are both huge fans of yours! BTW, to you & Rocky - we will be back in Vegas June 16 through the 22nd. Let me know when you guys can meet up - let's see if we can all get together at the same time! ;-) 


Thank you so much for your entry in this month's challenge too! I'm catching up on my challenge entries - FINALLY!!

I panicked for a minute when I saw this tag, oh boy which picture and are we having too much fun? That one was the family version! LOL

Debe Maxwell, CRS I miss seeing Barbara Todaro in the Rain too, she is such an amazing woman!  Candice A. Donofrio you should know that I would not throw you under the bus in the Rain, we have had so many good times together and I am sure there will be more in the future!  With regard to June 16-22nd I was going to say I would be willing to go up there over the weekend if Candice would join me this time in Vegas but I have a CE class on the 17th and a baseball game on the 19th to attend.  If Candice agreed to join me in Vegas I could be swayed to stay the night in Bullhead City on the 20th, drive up to Vegas on the 21st, then stay the night again in Bullhead City on the 22nd.  What says you Candice?

Pets seem to like me even though I am not necessarily fond of them Candice A. Donofrio so there is an off chance that she likes me, haha.

Candice A. Donofrio

You are always welcome to come up! With Moxie the Maniac still so untrained I am not yet sure about leaving her more than a couple hours max so maybe by June she will be trained enough to have a sitter. Will have to see how she does . . .


The only person she semi likes besides me is Pam, and she walks around behind her nipping her butt! LOL

Great job on the collage Brian. You are so lucky to have met so many Rainers in person!

I have only met a few... a couple of which that are no longer active here. Kathy Streib was my favorite meet up. I really hope to make it to Arizona and see you at some point.
