ActiveRain June Challenge - ActiveRain Point Store - Open! Open! Open!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Retired Broker/Owner AZ Broker BR030809000

The June ActiveRain Challenge is all about you, your dreams and what you would like to create in life and business.  And that is exactly why we're opening the ActiveRain Point Store, to pack a punch to those points you've worked so hard to earn!

If you're newer to our community you may not know about the ActiveRain Point Store.  The  ActiveRain POINT STORE is an 'imaginary store' that pops up every now and again in the rain.  Over the years we've had a lot of fun bidding on Point Store 'offerings' and having fun with what our points can buy 🤣 All fictional folks! 

This month, the ActiveRainPoint Store Challenge starts June 1st and ends at midnight on June 30th PST.  Debe Maxwell, CRS and myself will be the challenge hosts. We both are so excited about this challenge and we look forward to reading about  your hopes and dreams and what you'd like to create!

The  June 2025  ActiveRain Point Store Challenge will give you an opportunity to slow down, and imagine what you'd like to create in your life and business. Here are a few ideas to start the imagination process......and you may add to the list as you like!

  1. Personal Goal
  2. Business Goal
  3. Health Goal
  4. Travel Goal
  5. Retirement Goal
  6. Hobby Goal
  7. Remodeling Goal
  8. Buy and refurbish an old car Goal 
  9. Athletic Goals
  10. Community Service Goal
  11. Financial Goal
  12. Cooking/Chef Goal

The Sky's the limit to create what dreams
are flying
around in your mind!

Challenge Rules:

You may submit up to 4 posts and receive 500 points for each post.  Each post must have at least 300 words and 2 photos.  Plus you must leave a link in this post with links to all  of your posts in one comment by June 30th 12pm PT.  

How much do I get for my points you ask?

Every 100,000 ActiveRain Points equal $10,000 fictional dollars you can spend on your wants and dreams.  For instance, say you want to remodel your kitchen with a cost of about $50,000 in real money. That will cost you 500,000 of your AR Points. Pretty good deal, isn't it.  Now only if it was real!!  The POINT is to have some fun, open up your dreams to a higher level and share them with your fellow Rainers!

Let's dream big and have some fun this summer! 

On your mark, get started - GO!

Remember.....To Think Is To Create!

Time to let the Summer Fun Roll in to your dreams!

Anna "Banana" Kruchten - Thank you for your encouragement and offer to donate more points, if needed. Time and time again, you prove you have a genuine interest in others. Your willingness to help others tells me, you have a generous heart and a great attitude. If only more people saw the good in others, like you do, it would be Heaven on Earth!
