Attendance at RE Bar Camp is free.
And you’re going to get a TON of information.
For free.
If you are one of the first 400 to sign in on the morning of REBC, you’ll get an event t-shirt and lunch.
For free.
So how about paying it forward and helping some charities?
No, this isn’t required, but it’s a good thing to do. A very good thing.
We’ve decided to support three charities:
Items most needed: tuna fish, peanut butter, cereal, soup, bath & laundry soap, baby formula, large diapers.
Items most needed:
AT&T International Phone cards – be sure they’re for calls from the Middle East to the US
FOOD Please Make Sure Your Donation has at Least Two Months of Shelf Life Left.
* Pre sweetened powdered drink mixes ( Crystal Lite, Gatorade, KoolAid…)
* Coffee ( ground, vacuum pak or small cans)
* Beef Jerky ( small packages)
HYGIENE
* Foot Powder (Gold Bond etc)
* “Cool Ties”
* Eye Drops (for desert environment)
* Lip Balm ( Blistex, Carmex, Chapstick etc.)
* Men’s Deodorant ( Stick type – NOT anti-perspirant)
* Hand Sanitizer ( small and medium size)
In desperate need of 35 backpacks (No rolling ones – you can’t roll on a dirt road) for orphaned school girls in Kenya. This is a wonderful organization. We don’t need 100 backpacks, so please leave a comment below if you can bring one. MFFO also needs:
* Pencils
* blue/black/red sharp or FINE point pens http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/181636/Paper-Mate-Ballpoint-Stick-Pens-0/
* Erasers, preferably the ones that erase pen too http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/930032/Paper-Mate-Union-Pen-Pencil-Eraser/
All of these organizations also need cash. Even a five dollar donation can go a long way. (More of course, is welcome) So if you can not bring a specific item listed above, please open your wallet and donate. We’ll pool all cash collected and distribute it to these fine charities.
I’m a real estate broker, I know what the economy is like. I also know what we’ve paid for some classes, and this event is going to blow most of those classes away. Please consider paying it forward.
THANK YOU!!
