Weekly safety tips as provided by SPAAR and its members
|
SPAARky says:
Throw off the Grinch
With the holiday season here, take precautions to make homes look attended to, even if they're vacant. Something as simple as driving up a driveway and backing out to add tracks, keeping the front door area shoveled or putting a potted evergreen or decor outside can help deter a would-be Grinch.
We like hearing what tips SPAAR members have to share, too, such as:
In my neighborhood we take turns making sure our homes look occupied throughout the winter months, shoveling or snowblowing driveways and sidewalks when someone is away. We also take packages in so they aren't in plain sight, and we always set timers if we're gone when it's dark outside. You can never be too safe!

Every two years SPAAR invites participation in its Member Communications Survey, an opportunity for members to share their voices, thoughts and ideas in a number of areas. Because this information also helps to take the pulse on the programs and services offered at SPAAR, as well as provide insight to be sure members' needs are met, an incentive is provided for feedback shared.
SPAAR's Member Communications Survey will launch tonight via email, December 23, at 7pm and remain open through Sunday, January 12, at 11:59pm. Please take 15 minutes to participate and share your input as SPAAR continues its commitment to Better Agents and Better Communities. Thank you!

"
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."

Find a committee that best matches your talents and interests and apply today!
SPAAR is beginning to recruit members for its committees in 2020. Both existing committee members and those new to serving on a committee are welcome to join.

optional opportunities on occasion.
Attached is the
application; if there is a committee of interest to you, feel free to apply to serve in the upcoming year. Questions? Contact Mandy Boldt at mboldt@spaar.com.
