GAR held its 5th Membership Luncheon on Tuesday, October 5th at the GAR Office. We are so fortunate to have a large room/ facility to hold/host the luncheons this year as DeCordova completes its renovation. The luncheon was catered by Chef Jordan with DeCordova and the food was Wonderful – as always! The large meeting room was filled to capacity as 70 Realtor & Affiliate Members attended – as well as several honored guests. GAR’s 2021 President, Jerry Allen, welcomed everyone. He began with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Jerry then thanked the Sponsors: Premier Homes – Trina Willis & Kari Rumfield ; Porter Title – Beth Luton and “Team” & Service First Mortgage – Donna Dunning & Rachel Crider.
The Sponsors went above and beyond to provide special, fall “goodies” for each attendee. Premier provided Carmel Apples, Porter supplied pumpkin Bundt cakes and Service First furnished a variety of mini cakes. All were delicious!
All Sponsors also provided door prizes.
