We say it every year. "How is it December already?!" 2016 is no different, it has been an exciting busy year. We're seeing our market growing stronger and listing times growing shorter. Here in Montcalm County we've been staying busy not only with a bustling real estate market, but with the Association as well.
Montcalm Association of REALTORS strives to be more than simply a portal to members MLS access. Always looking for ways to improve member services and offer valuable member benefits, MCAR sponsored and hosted several member and community events. In addition to providing multiple local LARA-CE Marketplace approved continuing education events, we stepped out into the community as well.
Montcalm Association members and affiliates dug into their pockets and encouraged the community to do the same in support of our inaugural 'Kids Against Hunger' event. With the initial goal of raising $2,800 to package 10,000 meals we were looking forward to making a real impact on local needs. Our agents and affiliates proved once again we're in this industry to make our community stronger, raising enough to package
15,552
meals with 7,500 of those meals staying right here in Montcalm County!
Many thanks to all of our generous donors! A special thank you also to Dawn Phillips and Andrea Booker for working tirelessly pulling together the details of this event. It was inspiring to see families give time from their Saturday morning and
work together.
Proving as hard as we work we still know how to play, our membership appreciation event took us out to the ball game. It was HOT but we still had fun. And our October Election and General Membership Meeting welcomed some new faces to the Association and to the Board.
It has been a privilege serving as President this year, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity. I can't wait to see how far we can go next year.
Nancy Vanas, 2016 MCAR President
