LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Highlights of the 2009 Legislative Session of the North Carolina Association of REALTORS®

President's Message

Fellow BCAR Members,

As the year winds down, I realize what a busy time it has been.  With the hard work of our committees, directors, officers and staff we are moving forward to better meet your needs.  In an effort to better communicate with the membership, the association has placed the 2009 financial statements online for you to view.

During the month of August the Brunswick County Association of REALTORS® held eight committee meetings, a two-day strategic planning session and the monthly Board of Directors meeting. 

The church organization “Freedom Ministries Outreach” has been a tenant of the banquet center for the past month.  They have been an excellent customer and are very pleased with the facility for their services.  The service is held in the banquet center each Sunday at 10:30 am – 12:00 noon.  Wellcare also has been renting the board room for their weekly meetings for the past month. 

The Brunswick County Home Builders Association met this month after taking the summer off.  They will meet again in October and November.
