Wow, the year of 2013 is racing along! And we have been busy, but that's a good thing. Speaking of racing, soon we will embark on the Ride for the American Dream, a joint endeavor of the four states in NAR's Region IX. You still have time to enter this motorcycle ride through the Ozarks. No bike...no problem! Drive a car or ride with someone else. Larry and I will be driving the "Party Van." It will be full of human fuel to help you on the journey and we'll have plenty of stops along the way. One of the most fun times will be a meal at future NAR 2015 President Chris Polychron's home in Arkansas and an overnight at a refurbished authentic 1960's motel in Branson replete with fenced pool front and center in the parking lot! I wanted to ride my horse, Georgie, that many of you met at my installation last Fall or see on Facebook, but he just couldn't quite keep up with the bikes. We are also going to have a few celebrity riders from around our NAR family and who knows who or what else might show up. And, of course this is all for an important purpose....raising RPAC funds and participation. Please come and join the fun.

Another big event coming up that we hope hundreds of you attend is the Missouri REALTORS Summit on August 14 at Lake of the Ozarks. You can access an
event brochure here and there is even a
special website for the event. When you read the information on this event you will be amazed at the line up. Last year's broker only event was a success with the brokers who came and we were so delighted as this Summit idea has been a discussion point for several years. And, we did it!
Now this year we have expanded it to include agents and brokers with a few joint sessions but otherwise different learning tracks. One of my visions for the future is a multiple day Missouri REALTOR Expo and Education Event ( kind of like a convention...shhhh! ) that would bring together the finest teachers, speakers and vendors in our business for an event that REALTORS throughout our region would be excited to attend. This is just the beginning I hope. So please join me at The Summit. I guarantee you will leave with new ideas and plans for the strengthening of your business in the future. Thanks to our Professional Development Output Group for a super job and the Missouri REALTOR staff who did their usual outstanding implementation job. The Output Group said ,"Make it so," and they did!
