Where did this year go? It seems like yesterday I was sworn in! Now, the temperature is dropping, there is snow in the forecast and it appears the Holiday season is upon us. I guess this means that it is time to wrap up the years activities since my last letter. Our first Lottery Fundraiser came to an end November 31. Thank you to everyone who participated. We had several members who were winners. Congratulations to Tessa Samblanet, Nichole Simcox, Ray Salo, and Deb Davison. We are happy to announce that we have the capability of mass emailing your business announcements to the membership. For a small fee we can reach more than 300 members to let them know what is going on in your world. For more information contact Laurie at the office. In the upcoming months, the Technology Committee along with a special task force will be looking to upgrade our website. If you have marketing experience or web skills, we would like you to step up and help us in upgrading our website. We have recently been given grant money from NAR through the Game Changers Challenge and will be using some of this money to help in the cost. Congratulations Sue Blazek for submitting your idea to NAR! I would like to thank Santa (Denny Eberhart) for helping with this years Christmas for Kids luncheon held at the Rusty Nail. I would also like to thank all who attended and brought unwrapped toys. Also a big thank you goes out to those who participated in this year’s auction. A good time was had by all. The toys collected and the money raised will be put to good use right here in our county. The Care with Coats committee along with our membership is to be congratulated for another great year of collecting many coats for the County Clothes Closet. Please remember that even though the coat drive may be coming to an end, the County Clothes Closet could still use the coats throughout the winter months. By now you should have received your Dues Billing Statement via Email. We are excited to be “Going Green” and also giving you the opportunity to pay your dues with a credit card this year. You can type all the information that is needed on the form, print it and return it with your payment to the Board Office. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call. This year the Inaugural and Awards Banquet will be held on Friday, January 29, 2010 at the Ravenna Elks Club. The theme, Dedicated to Success will have special meaning to our membership as we have survived through some challenging times. Please plan on attending this wonderful event and don’t forget to turn in your Professional of the Year Awards, Realtor of the Year and Affiliate of the Year nominations. All are due January 8, 2010. Applications are available in the Hot Line and at the Board Office. It truly has been my privilege to serve as your 2009 President. The experiences and friendships that I have encountered throughout my involvement with this organization have helped me grow and prosper in many different ways.

Portage County Association of REALTORS® CHOSEN AS ONE OF AMERICA’S “GAME CHANGING” ASSOCIATIONS Idea part of NAR’s commitment to innovation in its second century NOVEMBER 30, 2009, CHICAGO—Portage County Association of REALTORS®, in Ravenna, has been honored by the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) for their idea on improving the functional processes of Realtors® across the country. The announcement was made by Dale Stinton, NAR’s Chief Executive Officer. In August 2009, NAR instituted the Game Changers Challenge, whereby NAR challenged its 1,500 Local REALTOR® Boards, State Association of REALTORS ® and Institutes, Societies and Councils. REALTORS® were charged with creating benefits and programs to assist its membership during current economic conditions. REALTORS® encouraged state and local associations to take new perspectives of day-to-day work, focus on the value of finding new ideas and formulate them to answer the challenge. These game changing ideas must have an impact on the association, a new product, program, process or service that improves the REALTOR® organization. Submissions included programs focused on commercial and international services, education and training, community, events, leadership development, marketing, customer service, technology, networking and social media. “The Portage County Association’s contribution signifies the opportunity one person or organization can make for NAR’s entire membership,” said Stinton. “In these challenging times, NAR’s leadership strives to assist its members with financial resources to help develop new programs that will ultimately enhance and improve their member’s skills. Investing in our members today will provide a return that will benefit the real estate industry and the American homebuyer.” NAR received over 200 submissions. At its recent convention in San Diego, NAR announced 14 winners will receive over $1.7 million to undertake their chosen projects. Each winner was also assigned a “coach” to assist them in developing the project. Full details on the program can be found at www.realtor.org/gamechangers. About the National Association of REALTORS® The National Association of REALTORS®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. We would like to thank everyone for your generous donations. Santa was able to give $1,320 and a van full of toys to Kent Social Services. ←Santa - Denny Eberhart Executive Partners Real Estate ↓Santa with Sandy Allen - Century 21 Wilbur Realty with her daughter Wendy & grandson Cooper ↓Santa with Bill Hershiser - Century 21 Wilbur Realty & Tammy Gildersleeve—Franklin Mills Title → Santa & Tammy Gildersleeve - Franklin Mills Title ← Frankie Tadsen - Cutler Real Estate Teresa Mullett - Cutler Real Estate Cindy Le-Mon - Stouffer Realty Lou Dudek - Diamond Title Ava Wagner - Stouffer Realty → Bruce Kirby - Home Savings Jim Camp - Cutler Real Estate Dorie Johnson - Cutler Real Estate Patti Buchanan - Home Savings Nichole Simcox - Franklin Mills Title Tammy Gildersleeve - Franklin Mills Title ← Michael Bukovac - Ohio Realty Group Helen Weingart - Ohio realty Group Natasha Squier - Third Federal Saving & Loan Amy DeGennaro - Diamond Title Sue Blazek - Ohio Realty Group Evah Kapella - Ohio Realty Group → Kim Loving - Home warranty of American Pat Deskins - Coldwell Banker Hunter Realty Mary Jo Ryan - Coldwell Banker Hunter Reatly Eleanor Cline - Century Realty Jacke Mumaw - Howard Hanna Real Estate Services Randall Adams - RE/Max Traditions Realty Pam Richards - Howard Hanna Real Estate Services ← Chris Brubaker - Bankers Guarantee Adam Rubin - Portage Community Bank Allan Orashan - Century 21 Wilbur Realty Doris Brown - Cutler Real Estate Bill Hershiser - Century 21 Wilbur Realty Sandy Allen - Century 21 Wilbur Realty John Kurlich - Cutler Real Estate Chris Carrillo - CRIS MLS ← Lou Dudek - Diamond Title Jack Kohl II - Jack Kohl Realty → Steve Boyles - Century 21 Wilbur Realty John Kurlich - Cutler Real Estate Chris Carrillo - CRIS MLS ← Pat Deskins - Coldwell Banker Hunter Realty Lou Dudek - Diamond Title Eleanor Cline - Century Realty ↓ Carol Foote - Cutler Real Estate Steve Boyles - Century 21 Wilbur Realty ↑ Dave Bissler - Stouffer Realty Dee Hawkins - Cutler Real Estate Rich Youngblood - Portage Community Bank Lisa Forgacs - Portage Community Bank Sabrina Christina-Bennett - Bennett Land Title Angie Cook - Bennett Land Title Patti Scherer - Ohio Realty Group Portage County Association of REALTORS® Appreciation for Service & Dedication Holiday Gathering ↑ Ava Wagner - Stouffer Realty & PCAR’S Treasurer Sus Blazek - Ohio Realty Group & PCAR’S President-Elect Dave Bissler - Stouffer Realty & PCAR’S President ↑ Angie Cook - Bennett Land Title Sabrina Christian-Bennett - Bennett Land Title Steve Boyles - Century 21 Wilbur & PCAR’S Past-President ← Sue Blazek - Ohio Realty Group & PCAR’S President-Elect Scott Mikula - Home Savings Bank Ava Wagner - Stouffer Realty & PCAR’S Treasurer → Jody Gildersleeve Nichole Simcox - Franklin Mills Title Tammy Gildersleeve - Franklin MiillsTitle & PCAR’S Affiliate Director Kim Loving - Home Warranty of America ↑ John Kurlich - Cutler Real Estate & PCAR Director Adam Rubin - Portage Community Bank ↑ Susan Elliott - PCAR’S Association Executive Officer Denny Eberhart - Executive Partners Real Estate Debra Kurcsics - Valley Title + Escrow Agency ↓ ↓ Natasha Squier - Third Federal Savings & Loan Dee Hawkins - Cutler Real Estate Suzy Jameson - Century 21 Wilbur & PCAR Director ↑ Sandy Allen - Century 21 Wilbur & PCAR Director → John Kurlich - Cutler Real Estate & PCAR Director Shirley Chimento - Cutler Real Estate & PCAR Director Rich Youngblood - Portage Community Bank Adam Rubin - Portage Community Bank 2009 PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR RULES AND ELIGIBILITY PURPOSE: To give recognition to outstanding salesperson members of the Portage County Association of REALTORS® who have contributed to the real estate industry through a high level of production .

The Directors of the Portage County Association of Realtors® would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Affiliate Members for their support of our organization. Our thanks to Tammy Gildersleeve of Franklin Mills Title for her tireless leadership as Affiliate Director (2008-2009) Revere Title RECORD PUBLISHING Support Our Association Affiliates! AFFILIATE SPOTLIGHT FRANKLIN MILLS TITLE AGENCY, LTD. TAMMY GILDERSLEEVE, MANAGER BUSINESS ADDRESS: 554 S. WATER ST., KENT PHONE: 330-673-8325 FAX: 330-673-0327 EMAIL: fmta-title@neo.rr.com 1. WHAT SERVICES DOES YOUR COMPANY PROVIDE? Franklin Mills Title provides complete title and escrow services as well as many other real estate services to aid homebuyers and sellers in their real estate transactions. We’ve been in business since 2001, and look forward to many more years of helping people with their most valuable possession – their home. 2. WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR BUSINESS? My experience has been on the job – and I’ve loved it! Every transaction is different, and continues to give me knowledge that builds my professional experience in a challenging industry. 3. WHAT WAS YOUR LAST PROFESSION? Before coming to Franklin Mills I worked as a customer service rep at National City Bank, but most of my work experience has been in retail store management. 4. WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN THIS TYPE OF CAREER? My work schedule at National City Bank conflicted with my children’s school schedule, which is most important to me. I saw the ad for Franklin Mills and thought it sounded interesting - and the rest is history. 5. TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY: I’ve been married to Jody for 7 years and have three sons – Nathaniel is 19 and is a sophomore at Ohio University. Ian is 17 and will graduate this year from Rootstown High School. Collin is 15 and is a sophomore at Rootstown. Maddie is the house cat – a stray we rescued a year ago who decided to put up with us! 6. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING? I spend as much time as I can on the golf course with Jody. When we’re not golfing we spend a lot of time in the kitchen, coming up with new recipes and perfecting old ones. We love to cook and love to feed people! Our goal is to eventually write a cookbook, but for now we’re still polishing up the recipes we have!
