So, every year TCAR and TCREW band together with other groups to raise money and awareness for an organization. In the past we have raised $10,000 for Hilltop Home and Pretty in Pink. This year, along with TCAR and TCREW, BOMA,TRAOBA & NC-CCIM will join forces to raise money and canned goods for the the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.
This is the fourth year of the Joint Event and with every year it has gotten bigger and more folks have been involved. This year our Platinum Sponsor, Highwoods Properties, has been gracious enough to hold the event at the Poyner & Spruill Building on Glenwood Avenue. Gold Sponsor this year is Shelco and HagerSmith Design.
If you have ever been to the Joint Event, the one thing you do know is that there are a lot of people that show up. All of the marketing materials goes out to every member of each organization. That's over 900 folks! We're looking for Silver Sponsors at the moment and that is a $500 investment. You get the opportunity to set up a table, a free admission and a chance to meet a lot of great people, maybe even do some business with some of them. Current sponsors this year are Ambius, Bland Landscaping, MG Capital, NAI Carolantic Realty, Inc, Office Suites PLUS, Scotties Building Services, SkySite and TCAR. If you're interested in an opportunity to network with a group of people that have connections to the commercial real estate industry just give us a call at 919-228-2588 or email me at kimb@tcar.com.
This year's theme is " Show Your Colors" . If you wear your school colors and bring in two canned goods for the food bank you get a free raffle ticket. They'll be a barbeque, two free drink tickets, DJ Joe Bunn and tours of the Poyner & Spruill Building for just $15. Registration will be online at tcar.com in June, but you can call the office in the mean time to register early.
Lastly, we do a raffle and we could use items donated for the raffle. So if you have something to help raise money for a good cause, let me know.
Everyone have a great weekend and stay safe!

Tons of Stuff Going on in June
So there are a lot of things going on at TCAR in the month of June.
We have two networking events happening towards the end of the month. Both you can either reister online at www.tcar.com, email me at kimb@tcar.com, call the office at 228-2588 or tweet us at tcarkim.
The first is the showcase sponsored by the NexCore Group at the new Rex Healthcare Building in Knightdale on Tuesday, June 23rd. If you have never been to a TCAR showcase, it is an opportunity to show off a fairly new property and, hopefully, lease some space or sell it. Usually, we'll set up in an unfinished shell area that has HVAC, electricity and restrooms. We try to bring in speakers, serve lunch and it has always been free to members.
The Rex Healthcare Building is located at 6602 Knightdale Blvd. We start at 11:30 with lunch from Knightdale Seafood and BBQ and some time to network. From there we take care of a few things in regards to some TCAR business and then the folks from the NexCore Group get an opportunity to talk about their new facility.
Our speakers for the Showcase are Kevin Brice from the Triangle Land Conservancy and NCRCA Chairman Drew Showfety. Drew's going to update us on what the North Carolina REALTORS Commercial Alliance have been up to this year while Kevin will be speaking on how local conservation is good for business.
If you have an questions or maybe you might be interested in sponsoring a showcase, give me a yell.
The second thing going on is the Habitat for Humanity TCAR workday has been set for Friday June 26th at the Falcone Pointe subdivision in Cary. We'll meet at 8:30 and work until noon. You are welcome to put in a full day if you like. Myself, well, driving a nail is a challenge but there is work that anyone can do. The address is 517 Old Apex Road, Cary. Have water, sunscreen, clothes on that can get paint all over them and be ready to make a home for these folks! Thanks to board member and Community Service Committee head Baxter Walker of Anthony & Company ONCOR International for setting this up.
Lastly, there is the usual stuff but for you new folks Orientation is on June 4th and June 18th. Contact me if you want to jump in on either of those. You current members that just need a refresher on what TCAR is up to are welcome as well, just let me know you'll be there.

The Rules and of Course the Disclaimer
So with all Blogs there should be rules and of course there is the disclaimer. Isn't there always. Here are the rules. First play nice. That means while we want you to be honest and open for the most part, as well as tell us what's on your mind, please try to be as diplomatic as possible. In other words, try to watch the language and try to keep the rhetoric down. If you're quoting facts please make sure they're accurate and at least somewhere in the ball park of factual.
There will be no gossip, rumors, falsehoods, defamatory comments, copyright infringement, personal attacks, harassment or inappropriate behavior.
And here it is, please remember that opinions or views expressed on this blog, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this Association, NAR, NCAR, the board of directors or myself for that matter.
So on that note, let's start the conversation. I look forward to hearing from you.

Starting a Blog
May 2oth,2009
So according to REALTOR AE, all Associations should consider a blog in order to communicate with their members. So here we are. The Triangle Commercial Association of REALTORS has started a blog.
We'll see how it goes. Blogs are meant to be a form of communication between, well in our case, the Association and it's members. So that means you guys are supposed to get involved and blog along with the rest of us. I'll be posting things of interest to the members as well as hopefully get some interest from the membership. In other words your supposed to comment as well.
Back on May 13th, we had a Golf Tournament at River Ridge in Raleigh. From my standpoint, I had a fantastic time. I hope the membership did. You should let me know. Pictures are forth coming. Comment if you want and can.
