Our Second Coffee Chat

Apr. 15, 2007
Categorized in: Meetings

I wanted to let you know that Kari will be sending out an email on my behalf regarding our second COFFEE CHAT for all San Diego Chapter members.

DATE: June 19th from 10 - 11:30 AM

This 1 1/2 hour meeting will be in Carmel Valley, just off the 5, so it will be convenient for most people. We will be starting at 10 so you can avoid the traffic.

As the Area VP for San Diego, I would like to get more members involved but also provide some activities for our area.. Gatherings can be a great opportunity to learn, network and have fun.

The COFFEE CHAT is FREE and is a chance for you to:

  • Learn how to improve the quality of your real estate photography. Scott Basile, a talented area photosgrapher (you've seen his work in Dream Homes San Diego), will be on hand to share his thoughts and experience about photographing homes and interiors. You won't want to miss this!
  • Hear more about the upcoming CRS quarterly membership meeting in Santa Barbara on July 12
  • Hear from Chris Comer at Pacific Capital Mortgage about his programs and services
  • Network with other San Diego County members
  • Drink coffee and have snacks!

Stay tuned for your email. Or check back here for all the details in coming weeks.
