PCAR Variety Show Fundraiser for CanTree and the Salvation Army

I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to be part of an amazing fund raiser. Placer County Association of Realtors banded together with the food sponsor Capitol Mortgage and the Bar Host Chamber of Commerce to throw one heck of an event. Much of the credit for the organization of the event has to go to Val Berlin Douglas (North American Title) as she was responsible for corralling and organizing a bunch of entrepreneurial professional that like to wander around and do our own thing. Great job Val.

So what is a variety show. We did everything along the lines of musical skits that were pieces of movies like 13 going on 30′s Thriller dance a tribute to the man Michael Jackson and Santa Baby musical. There were several one and a half minute lip syncs done by many of the volunteers from artists like Rod Stewart (Geoffrey Poulos), Prince (Kevin Capps), Beyonce (Tami Hinkle), Katy Perry (Deb Newton) and so many more excellent solos. We even got a guest appearance from Willie Nelson (Bill Johnson).

The show started out with a bang and had two groups perform their stuff. That was followed by another round of songs and performances and finished off with all the solos. Then there was an encore presentation to end the night. Many of the attendees stayed after the scheduled performances to take part in some Karaoke set up and put together by Joe Crespillo of Sell State Realty First our emcee of the night.

I do not know the final count I think that it would be safe to say that we raised in the ball park of 3K -4K for the evening. This was my very first year to be a part of the event and one of the things that I learned and respected from all the volunteers is that they were all repeats. So many of the volunteers were on their 6th year of the event. I now know why. It is so much fun and the camaraderie was awesome. I was welcomed in as the newcomer and assisted and helped the entire evening.  We were able to get away from the normal stressful situations that are present in Real Estate transactions. We were able to do something that is above and beyond our own self interest which showed me the true values of the agents in this industry.

I want to say thank you to all the participants and all of the attendees that came together to make this event happen. I am already excited about what next year may bring!
