President
Chair-ity
This year, we were honored to host the 8th Annual Chair-ity event. Realtor® Members and OMCAR Strategic Business Partners have been working hard volunteering their time in planning this event.
E
ach year we have seen this event grow with new volunteers and attendees participating in this wonderful community event for charity. Our chosen charity this year is the Boys & Girls Clubs of Marion County. Our Chair-ity event, which started in 2007, is a fundraiser that involves auctioning off chairs that have been decorated by our Realtor® members, members of the public and local businesses and organizations as artwork. These chairs have turned into beautiful masterpieces and even include more than just the chair itself! Then, proceeds from the event support various local charities. On Friday, November 4, we held our eighth Chair-ity event, and I would like to personally thank those who donated a live auction chair or silent auction item and those who took the time to attend and support the charity. I am excited to announce that we were able to raise over $26,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Marion County. On November 22, some of our Community Awareness Committee members, along with our Association Executive Darlene Yonce, attended the
Marion County School Board meeting to present teacher mini-grant checks to local teachers and their principals. Each year, the Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors® Community Awareness Committee awards local teachers with mini grants to assist in school projects. This year, OMCAR granted $6,000 to Marion County teachers. Each year, applications are accepted for these mini grants. Part of the decision process is determining which requests have the ability to impact the most students this year and in the future. In closing, it was an honor for me to write this column for you each month as the president of the association. OMCAR hopes to continue the success each year with our charity events and community outreach projects. On behalf of the Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors®, I would like to wish you and your family a happy holiday season! For more information, contact the Ocala/Marion County Association of REALTORS® (352) 629-2415.
