Presidents Message

 

 

 

With the start of an another great year here at South Orange County Women's Council of REALTORS, I would like to wish each and every one of you a healthy and successful year.

 

We are fortunate to start the year strong, with the new leadership team hard at work to bring you great programs and workshops to improve your business and balance your life.

 

The month of January, February, and March are our membership drive months. We encourage our members to invite their REALTOR® and Affiliate friends to our monthly business resource luncheons to see what Women's Council of REALTORS® is all about. We believe the opportunities are endless when we all work together to reach our goals and dreams.

 

Today, Women's Council of REALTORS® is the 12th largest women's professional organization in the United States  with 290 chapters and more than 15000 members. One of the most successful communication networks in the NAR family. Visit our newly enhanced chapter website often at www.WCRSouthOrangeCounty while there check out our calendar for upcoming programs and events.

 

In addition to our business resource luncheons and workshops, this year we are planning to have two fun fundraising events, the 4rd annual Summer Tea event in July. This event is a well received event and it became our chapter's signature event. In addition to Summer Tea in July we will have another fun event for you, your family and friends to enjoy, The 2nd Casino night in September.

 

In the end I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support and participation. I would like to extend my appreciation to our chapter's local partners who are willing and able to serve us when we need their services.

 

We are proud that you are a part of this amazing group.

 

Best to YOU!

 

 




Fall Message

Strong Woman vs. a Woman of Strenght

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...


A strong woman isn't afraid of anything...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...


A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...


A strong woman walks sure footedly...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her if she falls...


A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face...
but a woman of strength wears grace...


A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong...
