I arrived early yesterday for the RASL Installation and had a chance to drive around the St. Lucie / Martin County area. I was impressed with the commercial activity up and down Highway 1. Maria Wells, DVP for District 3 has been mustering the Realtor members to do the grassroots work necessary to get Amendment 1 passed. Testimony to that fact were the signs placed in strategic locations by Realtor members. There were also articles in the paper discussing the meeting with local Realtor associations and elected officials.
The Boys and Girls Club Drumline
The RASL installation was held at the PGA Education Center. The theme of the 
evening was football related since President Scott Wingfield played for Vanderbilt during his college career. The local Boys and Girls Club drumline greeted attendees at the front door just past the tailgate tent. Scott's very talented daughters both emceed and sang the national anthem. Scott's old teammates surprised him with a little bit of "This Is Your Life." What a great tribute to Scott. Scott then gave a very encouraging and motivational speech that reflected on the tough market but at the same time but everything in 
perspective by looking forward. He also honored his parents and broker who have been so influential in his life. Stacy Storms and her staff did an excellent job with the decorations, program and auction of sports memoriblia, the proceeds of which went to attainable housing in the St. Lucie area. Many of the local association presidents were also in attendance.
