The spirit of Christmas is alive and well and you can experience it early when you visit the Langley Christmas Bureau where we went for a tour and a visit with my very good friend and Langley "Staple" Jim McGregor who can always be found contributing his time to a worthy cause! Leigh Castron has been with Langley Chrismas Bureau for 11 years and there are many "Elves" working tirelessly to serve families in need.
Please register online at www.langleychristmasbureau to be matched with a family or bring an unwrapped toy or item (special need for 'cool things' for the teenagers ie: hoodies) to our December Fraser Valley Social Media Meetup. We'll be collecting toys for the Christmas Bureau (December 16th at Agave Grill 7 pm) and we'll deliver it on your behalf!
Donalda Whaites,Leigh Castron and Jim McGregor show off 1 of the boys toy rooms. Coast Capital generously provides the much needed space!
Energizer Canada donates the batteries so the toys can keep going and going and going :)
Little tykes room!

Author/Speaker Jason Barger is quickly becoming someone I greatly respect. In fact this week I compiled a list of people who I think are "Game Changers". All are people who I see as visionaries and are changing the way in which we do business and even live our lives.

This summer I was invited to speak at a couple of Real Estate conventions in Seattle and Portland to discuss how I use Social Media to build my business.

Here is my prezi presentation that I delivered to my fellow Realtors:
