FROM THE TO-BE HAS-BEEN PRESIDENT…

After I get back from the IREM National meetings in Chicago on November 3rd, I will have the privilege of inducting your new officers, Mike McConnell, CPM, Robin Stinson, CPM, and Steve Jankowski, CPM, as president, president-elect, and secretary-treasurer, respectively.  Therefore, this is my last time to use this column to speak my mind.

It may seem like it’s a hard job.  Being president of the IREM chapter involves juggling many tasks at one time.  However, none is as difficult as coming up with something brilliant (or humorous) to write about for twelve months in a row.  If it happened once or twice, I figure I did well.

Instead of going on about how much I’m going to miss all this, let me be brief.  Thank you.  To our members.  To our Friends of IREM.  To Bob.  To Meridythe.  Especially to the volunteers who did a little (and sometimes a lot) extra to keep our chapter going.  You know who you are, and for your hard work, I am forever grateful.

Please attend our November 13th luncheon.  Not only will the new officers be inducted, but we will have a brief entertainment segment to end the year with a chuckle.

Best regards,

Lou Nimkoff, CPM, CCIM

Charity Golf Tournament Scores an Ace!

 

The fourth annual charity golf tournament to benefit the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Women and Children had its best year to date.  After all expenses were paid out, the net dollars donated to the hospital this year was $30,000.  With the generous help of our corporate sponsors this year, we were able to increase our donation to the hospital by nearly four fold over last year.  It was my pleasure on behalf of the Chapter #60 to present a check to Ms. Cheryl Collins at our September meeting.   I want to thank everyone who helped to make the tournament a success, with a special thanks going to Traci Andrade, Highwoods Properties, Inc. and Peggy Hunnings, McKinley Properties, for the outstanding job they did in securing raffle prizes for the tournament.  We will be out at Champions Gate again next year, June 7th, a Friday.  It will be a morning start.  I hope to see you all there next year.
 

Scott Pollock, CPM
Golf Tournament Chairman
