This party will be so fun you will not want to miss it! Frank Miller We are having a Vegas-style show with the entertainer who travels the world as REZA, and also we will be having raffles and drawings for a large, flat-screen TV — and many more prizes to be given out that night. Also let me mention that we will be having a live auction with vacation packages and mentoring from some of the top professionals in real estate in Louisville. And we will be having an open cocktail bar from 5:45 till 7:45, so make sure you show up early, to beat the rush. Also, did I fail to mention, that for all KREIA members the party is FREE! And for all guests it is only $25 dollars. This party is a way for KREIA to give back to all of our fellow members after a fun-filled year of real estate education and training. Now is the time to unwind and relax and have some fun with FREE Vegas-style entertainment, raffles and giveaways, all in one action-packed night. So bring your partner, friend, and business associate. Bring somebody you would like to wine and dine and show how great it is to be a part of this organization of KREIA! Hope to see you there — this is one you will not want to miss!!!! If there are any concerns or suggestions with KREIA in general, please do not hesitate to contact me at News@kreia.com. So we look forward to seeing everyone join us! Sincerely, Your President, Frank Miller
