Supporting

disaster victims

On

Feb. 24, eight representatives from the Fayette

County Board of Realtors traveled to Grady County

in south Georgia to help with the tornado

cleanup.

Those

from our board participating in the project

included Patti Reynolds (Reynolds & Reynolds

LLC); Jim and Sylvia Brady (Century 21 Southern

Crescent; Stacey Studley Collins (The Warner Law

Firm); Kim Ryan-Smith (The Home Source,

Realtors); Helen Garr, Fayette County Board of

Realtors executive; and my husband, Bruce

Hayhurst and myself (Coldwell Banker Fulton

Realty).

Our

group helped clean the debris from a farmer's

60-acre field. The Fayette Board also donated

$2,000 to the Southwest Georgia Board of Realtors

disaster fund.

Legislative

Appreciation Day

The

Fayette Board also had a delegation in attendance

at Legislative Appreciation Day, which took place

March 6.

The

day's activities began with an opening session

and breakfast at The Georgia Railroad Depot with

Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor as keynote speaker. During

the day, we were able to meet with our local

legislators at the state Capitol, learn about

pending legislation which might affect our

business, and see the General Assembly act on

important state issues.

Attending

from our board were Minka Fulton of CB Fulton

Realty; Terri Hornfeck of Re/Max Results; Mike

Faulkner of Joyce Faulkner and Associates; Cindy

Lester of Tri-City Realty; Mike Robinson of

Re/Max Results; and myself.
