We need your help to grow—the Association has started its Fall Membership drive—we have the lowest local dues in the District as well as lower pricing for lock boxes and Supra keys. Until December 31st, the application fees are being waived for new and transferring members.
The education schedule is being set for next year and your topics of interest are
important to us—send them to Info@centralpascorealtors.org.
Don’t miss the October Technology meeting. On October 13th, you will receive information that a non-technical Realtor® can put to use to take you from ordinary to extraordinary. Also, the Affiliates will be electing a Director to join us on the Board of Directors for the 2011-2012 year.
Mark your calendar for the November Installation and Awards Banquet—November 10th at the Rusty Pelican. Details will be coming in the next week. Did you take the time to complete your award nominations?
To wrap up our year, we will have our 1st Annual Chinese Gift Exchange. It will be full of surprises and fun for everyone. We are confident that we can relieve some of your holiday stress.

CONGRATULATIONS ~ CPAR Member Russ Laggan has been appointed as CPAR Education Director. He has created a Monthly Market Update video that will keep us informed and know what’s REALLY going on. The first video is a bit long at 7 minutes but includes a bit of history with it. The “monthly market update” will usually be less than 2 minutes.

Also, Russ just achieved a personal goal of completing a Racing Ironman Triathlon in Atlanta with a time of 6:17:54.
Russ says, “The Racing Ironman 70.3 has been a goal of mine for the last three years after doing my first sprint distance triathlon in '09 on a dare. It is the pinnacle of the triathlon sport and known to be one of the toughest races out there. The challenge is really being able to train and race in all three sports while balancing family and work.”
This race included a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile hilly bike, and the brutal 13.1 mile run to finish off the race. The
race distance is 70.3 miles total.

CPAR BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MINUTES
June, 2011
It was decided to move from monthly GMM to quarterly GMMs. The next GMM will be the 2nd Thursday of the last month of the quarter - September 8, 2011.
Educational sessions can still be held monthly or as designated by committee. Educational ses-sions can be sponsored and not necessarily a luncheon or paid program. We can find a bigger room and light sodas/cookies for refreshments provided by a sponsor.
July, 2011
Lynn Mooney presented proposal from Florida Realtors and East and West Pasco to consolidate/merge the three boards into one board. East Pasco has already voted not to do this. Even if we merged, we would not have enough members for an NAR Director position. In addition, the dues would take a significant increase for CPAR.
MOTION THAT CPAR NOT AGREE TO ANY MERGER BETWEEN THE PASCO BOARDS. PASSED
