Osceola County Association of Realtors Gala

Hope Andrews took the oath of office as the 2008 President of the Osceola County Association of Realtors. It was a truly black tie affair with well over 175 attending. The event was held in the convention center at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee. The theme of the evening was Realtor member involvement in local charities; just a few of the many included K-9 donations for the local sheriff and Angler's for cancer research. Hope sets the mark high for her association by maintaining a Golden R for RPAC. Sean Ferguson will be watching closely and learning as he serves as the OSCAR President-Elect. Talk about young and energetic, they both epitomize the new generation of Realtor. Sean, expect to be asked to share your enthusiasm with FAR.

David Bennett and his staff outdid themselves with a first class installation. Something I've never seen before, much less, at an association installation was ballroom dancing. A Russian couple performed 4 dances, complete with costume changes beginning with a waltz. I took some video which I hope will post easily on this blog. It's about a minute and a half of tango. Unfortunately, my camera didn't work when Pres. Chuck and Roberta took to the floor. jk (just kidding).

I'm looking forward to two installations next week; the Heartland Association of Realtors in Sebring and the Realtor Association of St. Lucie.
