Happy New Year Everyone ...

It has been nice to have a couple days away from the office to celebrate the New Year's Holiday with friends and family. We hope you had a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and an opportunity to welcome in the New Year, as you choose.

We had our first service call of the New Year on Sunday. Thank you to our tenant and service vendor for resolving the matter in a timely fashion and with prudent work.

Be prepared.

Remember to be prepared for emergencies. If you have to call the utility companies, know what to do, whether it be electric, gas or water.

What are your New Year's Resolutions for 2011?

Can we be a part of your real estate or property management needs in 2011. If so, please contact us by e-mail or telephone.

Realtor® Preamble

Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated
ownership depend the survival and growth of free institutions and of our
civilization. REALTORS® should recognize that the interests of the nation and
its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest
distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing,
the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and
farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment.

Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce. They
impose grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which REALTORS®
should dedicate themselves, and for which they should be diligent in preparing
themselves. REALTORS®, therefore, are zealous to maintain and improve the
standards of their calling and share with their fellow REALTORS® a common
responsibility for its integrity and honor.

Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to everyone this Holiday Week

The Rotary Club of Cedar Rapids will celebrate our Club Holiday Party today during our regular meeting.

This year's program will feature the Washington High School Madrigal Singers. We caught them at the Cocoa and Carols concert that Washington High put on earlier this month, so it should be an entertaining Rotary Club celebration this year. The Madrigal Singers also performed at this year's Fire & Ice Festival in Cedar Rapids earlier this month.

Here's a taste of The Madrigal Singers performing at Rotary West's program earlier this year.
