It doesn’t seem possible that this is the last letter that I will be writing to you as your 2009 President.
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. It is my wish that you continue to support this great association and that you
too may prosper throughout many years to come.
Thank you,
Dave Bissler

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.

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!
