Weekly safety tips as provided by SPAAR and its members
|
SPAARky says:
Pre-program as much as possible
To best prepare for any kind of emergency, pre-program important numbers into your phone, which may include your office, road assistance, local authorities, a family member or even 9-1-1. Whether your emergency is a personal threat, weather-related or something else that could hinder your safety, it's best to be prepared.
We like hearing what tips SPAAR members have to share, too, such as:
I map out two sets of directions when I'm headed out to show properties. With the unpredictable weather, I find sometimes the back roads are better to navigate than my usual routes.

SPAAR's Member Communications Survey is currently open and will remain open through Sunday, January 12, at 11:59pm.
Congratulations to Karen Nelson
, the first member's name drawn from one of four drawings for completing the Member Communications Survey. The earlier members take the survey, the more chances there are to win.

SPAAR truly offers a lot to us as members, but in my experience I started to notice the value of my membership once I started being more involved. Committee involvement has been rewarding on many levels.
