Holiday Party Task Force


The Holiday Planning Committee has been reaching out to the brokerages in the area to ask for their support in helping us pull off another great celebration by being a broker sponsor for this year’s event. Not only does this help to create an exciting evening, but it also helps to increase the number of realtors that will be in attendance. This party is to highlight the hard work the agents and affiliates have put in to keep our industry strong.


Here’s your reminder to register for the SCAAR Holiday Party before November 1st with the discounted registration fee of only $20.00 per ticket!!
