FW: 4th Quarter Newsletter

CENTRAL AZ CCIM CHAPTER NEWSLETTER 4TH QUARTER - DECEMBER  2013 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE        Dear board, members and sponsors, Thank you for a year better than I could have imagined! After serving on the board for the past 5 years, it is a bittersweet end to my presidency. Don't get too excited-I am not going anywhere. I will be serving as your Regional Vice President for the next two years! So you won't be getting rid of me that quick. I'd like to thank all of you who participated in our strategic planning event in 2012 that helped set our future for the upcoming 3 years. Our golf committee, led by Belinda Rosthenhausler, was incredible. Sponsorships have grown and continue to grow. Our education committee, led by Linda Robbins, added lunch & learns. Our scholarship committee, led by Lisa Richardson, reviewed numerous scholarship applications. So many more participated. I can't begin to list them all. And I apologize if I've forgotten someone who deserved mention. Our success is due to all of you and blessings from our Lord shining down on all of us. This will be a year of dear memories that will last a lifetime! Please get involved with our CCIM Chapter. Attend our monthly meetings. Go to the business meetings in the Spring and Fall. And don't stop at being a member, we need you! Blessings, Bobbie Lorraine Mastracci, CCIM   NOVEMBER BREAKFAST MEETING      Over 50 members and guests listened to an enlightening Arizona State Trust Update, led by Jim Adams, Deputy State Land Commissioner, at our November 7 breakfast meeting. If you haven't been attending our monthly breakfast (and on alternate months, lunch) meetings, you've missed a lot this year! Kudos go out to Kevin Sellers and Bobbie Mastracci for bringing us a year filled with awesome breakfast and lunch speakers-our hats are off to you!  HOLIDAY PARTY A good time was had by all who attended the holiday dinner party at Arizona Country Club on December 5. Board members and sponsors received a plaque from 2013 President Bobbie Mastracci  in recognition of their contributions to the Chapter. One of the benefits from your annual Chapter dues is the holiday party, which is a "no cost to members" event.     DESIGNEE ONLY EVENT    Nearly 60 CCIMs packed into the Ritz Carlton on the evening of October 29 to hear speaker Robert Burchmore's discussion, "Is the surf up-or is it a tsunami?" Bob provided an in-depth analysis of the current economy and trends that will-and are-impacting commercial real estate.  He was very informative and several attendees were overheard remarking, "What a fabulous evening-it's a shame we only have one such annual event for Designees to mix and mingle with other Designees, and hear a speaker who delves a little deeper than our monthly meeting speakers do.      CENTRAL AZ CCIM CHAPTER SPOTTED    Spotted at the RealShare Health Real Estate were Scott Fey, CCIM and Bonnie Halley, CCIM staffing the CCIM booth.    More than 300 of the leading executives in healthcare real estate (including players in the brokerage world, REITs, investment and finance, developers, healthcare real estate and hospital system leaders) are attending this conference, which offered diverse panels of healthcare real estate experts who shared their insights and outlooks for the marketplace.    2013 SPONSORS    PREMIUM SPONSORS                 PLATINUM SPONSORS                                                SILVER SPONSORS                              WANT TO SEE YOUR NEWS OR TRANSACTION IN THE CHAPTER NEWSLETTER?   Send news to Pat Rogers, CCIM at pat.rogers@naihorizon.com - or call her at 480-266-4483 to discuss.
