Hello everyone! It is Regina and I am excited about this year "Twenty Ten" and all it has to offer. The countdown has begun for me only 51 weeks left in this new year.....so much to do, so little time. All of the Foundation Board of Directors & Committee Members have been working very hard to make this year a huge success.

I just wanted to let you know about a few important dates and events that are happening within the month of January.  

*First of all if you or someone you know loves the show "Dancing with the Stars" and would love to take dance lessons then check out our item of the month: http://www.mibor.com/realtorfoundation/auctionitem.asp . We have Arthur Murray dance lessons that are a $625 value and the current bid for this item is a low $65!!

*Next event that we are featuring is our monthly "Feed the Fight". On Wednesday January 20th, Noodles & Company will be hosting The Realtor Foundation's "Feed the Fight" event. The way you can help the homeless is by having lunch or dinner at  Noodles & Company (Indy downtown location) on January 20th. http://www.mibor.com/realtorfoundation/feed.asp Click on the Noodles & Company words for the flyer you would need to present at time of purchase: (Please pass along this flyer link to your family, friends & co-workers via email, facebook, twitter etc....)

I will close my entry today by quoting Dr. Cornel West, "Empathy is not simply a matter of trying to imagine what others are going through, but having the will to muster enough courage to do something about it. In a way, empathy is predicated upon hope."
