On September 16 KCRAR members and guests filled the JC Nichols Auditorium at the Liberty Memorial to celebrate REALTOR® Community service.  The ten REALTORS® who nominated the Centennial Grant-winning nonprofits and leaders from those nonprofit organizations were applauded.  We were honored to have Charles McMillan, GRI, CIPS President-elect of NAR, and many leaders from our state associations come to Kansas City especially for this recognition ceremony.

It was a fitting tribute, not only to the Centennial Grant recipients, but to all REALTORS® who do so much to serve their communities.

The KCRAR REALTOR® Centennial is "going public" next month with publication of the Centennial Celebration Magazine.  To mark our 100-year milestone, it will be circulated to 200,000 homes and spread the message of REALTOR® community service.

You're invited to join in by advertising in the Magazine and the deadline is Wednesday, September 24.  Click here for the details from Sun Publications, which has partnered with KCRAR to produce the Centennial Celebration Magazine.
