Reviewed the calendar of events and it was agreed that the Spring Mixer will be held in March, Summer Mixer in June, and Fall Mixer in September and the Christmas Mixer in December. It was decided that due to weather concerns the Spring Mixer should be held indoors at The End Zone, the Summer Mixer (BBQ) at the CAOR and the Fall Mixer at the Gooney Bird. Orval was nominated to the owner of The End Zone to confirm the proposed date of 3/19/09 5:00-7:00pm and to discuss their providing appetizers at a reduced rate (our budget $200-250) and drinks can be purchased by those in attendance at their bar. It was agreed that the event will have a Mardi Gras theme!
Orval has confirmed that the End Zone will be available for us to use on the 19th of March for our Mixer. A separate email will be going out (only to the affiliates in regular attendance of the meetings) to help plan the mixer. If you would like to be included in the planning of the mixer please reply to this email so I can include you on the planning committee. A sign-up sheet was passed for raffle prizes to be provided at the Mardi Gras Mixer in March. Lynette (Mission Hills), Becky & Denean (First American Natural Hazard Disclosure), Jill (Cleanrite Buildrite) and Chris (Wright Mortgage) all agreed to provide these. It was also agreed that the wine refrigerator that was donated back to the affiliates, be filled and raffled again. A sign-up sheet for wine donation was passed around. Lynnette, Rick, Brewster, Jill, Marianne, Chris, Kym, Thurza, Izzy, and Allison all will be bringing bottles of wine to stock the wine refrigerator that will be raffled.
If any other Affiliates would like to donate a raffle prize or a bottle of wine for the mixer, please reply to this email and let me know what you will be donating. A suggestion was made by Chris to keep mixers on the 3rd Thursday of each month to simplify and make easier to remember. It was agreed that this was a good idea when were able to do so. A reminder was made of the Quarterly Coffee on 2/12/09 and Affiliates were encouraged to attend and socialize. The next affiliate meeting to be held at the CAOR offices on March 10 at 4:00pm. Meeting adjourned. Submitted by Marianne Kernen, Secretary

Affiliate Committee Meeting Minutes January 13, 2009
Affiliates in Attendance:
Allison Denney, Sue Gutierrez, Stacey Gibson, Amber Abney, Carl Henker, Chris Mulqueeney, Connie Wright, Marianne Kernen, Crystal Fortune, Brad Jacobson, Kym Campbell, Brewster Beattie, Peggy Mead, Orval Hughes, Lynnette Baker, & Jill Cooper
Financial Report:
Thurza was not in attendance. We know that we have more money in the account than last month with the donation to the Salvation Army being deducted (approx. $300) and the Wine Refrigerator Raffle being deposited (approx. $500).
Old Business
December Wine Refrigerator Raffle The wine refrigerator was donated back to the Affiliate committee to use again as a raffle (minus the bottles of wine). That is great news because we can fill it up again for another raffle this year.We made about $500 on the Raffle, but only sold about half as many tickets as we had hoped. We discussed ways that we could improve our ticket sales in the future.
Suggestions included:
Selling tickets further in advance (maybe 3 weeks ahead instead of just 2 weeks)-
Different time of the year, maybe between Thanksgiving and Christmas was bad timing???- Associate the big raffle prize like the wine refrigerator with the Mixer to maximize ticket sales. We felt like we had better ticket sales when we pre-sold tickets and raffled the fridge off at a mixer so we could sell tickets there too.
Holiday Donation - The Salvation Army sent a letter of Thanks for our Holiday toy donation. Allison read the letter at the meeting, and it was decided that the letter should be read at MLS so all of the Realtors could hear it as well.
Quarterly Coffee - Only 2 affiliates were in attendance to the last Quarterly Coffee, Chris and Crystal. We discussed the need to have a separate email go out to the affiliates via constant contact reminding them about Quarterly Coffee instead of having the reminder lumped in with the meeting minutes. Allison will be sending out a email reminder for the next Quarterly Coffee which will be Thursday February 12th at 8 am at Bidwell Perk. Please mark your calendars.
Realtor Holiday Party - Everyone that was able to attend the Realtor Holiday party said they had a great time.- Once again, congratulations Amber Abney for Affiliate of the Year!
