  • Teton Board of REALTORS® next scheduled Membership Luncheon- August 21, 2008 at the Pines. This annual membership meeting will be held to vote for the 2009 slate of Directors including the President Elect and one Director as well as several changes to our TBOR by-laws. As well our guest speaker will be the Wyoming Association of REALTORS® President Kevin Bromley who will provide an update as to the State of real estate in Wyoming. Finally we will be honoring our 2008 REALTOR® of the Year. Space will be limited and reservations will be required so please be aware when this luncheon is formally announced on the cover page of your FLEX MLS. Due to the high cost of these luncheons $25 will be charged if you if you make a reservation and do not attend. 

 

  • Mentoring Program- This Teton County school project “empowers youth by establishing and supporting a connection with a caring adult who encourages them to discover strengths and achieve potential” You CAN make a difference in the life of a child. For details as to how you could help this important community program please visit www.tetonmentorporject.org

 

  • RPAC- is the REALTORS® Political Action Committee and is the mechanism for REALTORS® to recognize and supports those political candidates and issues that are critical to our industry.

 

National RPAC levels have reached 47% of the 2008 goal during this critical election year and year of economic downturn. . TBOR has only met 25% of our 2008 goal.

 

RPAC is the preservation of our trade and has been an investment in our business since 1969. I remind each of you that as a result of RPAC dollars REALTORS® do not belong to local, state or federal institutions and we do not belong to banks. ONLY we can insure that we have the opportunity to continue to operate as we have been as REALTORS® for the past 100 years. I have made a second large contribution because I want to see my rights protected. A powerful example of this is fighting to prevent taxation on our real estate commissions. This is already occurring in other States and would be a powerful negativity in any commission discussions with our clients and customers.

 

RPAC PROTECTS A REALTOR®’S RIGHT TO BE SUCCESSFUL!

 

We applaud the following contributors for their generous donations and support this past month:

John Hanlon
Donn Wooden
Linda Butterfield
Laura Faye Jensen
J. Allen Crooks
Judy Crawford
Brad Andrews
Deb Allen Keenan
Robert Manning
Jo Hillstead
Cindy Leinonen

Ben Krasnow

Dave Dayton

Thomas “Tuck” Fauntleroy

 

REALTORS® are the ONLY Homeowner advocate group that not only sell real estate but offer disaster assistance, apply and work for grants for homeowner disaster services and more. Each REALTOR no matter their financial situation can participate in advancing important REALTOR® legislative matters pertaining to the success of our industry.  70% of all RPAC donations stay in Wyoming with the remaining 30% sent directly to NAR for distribution. During the next months you will be contacted by one of the Teton Board or REALTORS® Directors. Please write your check for $15 or more made payable to RPAC and deliver/mail to either the Board Office or to one of the following 2008 Board Directors:

Your Directors are involved because they strongly believe that RPAC INSURES THAT WE RETAIN THESE FREEDOMS! We challenge you to join us in this united effort.

 

 

  • Calls to Action- Another method of influencing REALTOR issues is through the continuing grassroots calls to action. Both NAR political staff and WAR Government Affairs Dept utilize this system by sending out “Calls to Action” on issues important, and often critical, to our industry. Please read these e-mail notices and respond to these requests for action. It takes only 2 clicks to make a difference. Remember, we are the only consistent voice for private property rights.
