On Tuesday April 13th, the East Fishkill Houlihan Lawrence Brokerage located on Route 52, East Fishkill, NY presented ‘A showcase of fine art created by elementary students from Wappingers Central school district’.

The company put on a well attended reception, supported by local teachers, with art work on display throughout the office. Real Estate Salesperson Gregory Pikor explained:

“We organize events like this on a regular basis, they are a great way for us to give back to the community.”

I have to admit a bias however. My own daughter, Yasmin (7), was one of the featured artists so please pardon my moment of parental pride

Following this week’s release of the follr.com Website, our sister company Social Gears today announced they are sponsoring the third Virtual REBarcamp, being held nationwide on April 6th.

Social Gears co-founder and CIO, Mark Wayman, stated:

“Having announced the release of the follr.com Website it seemed only natural that we support this great educational platform, especially off the back of AgencyLogic’s support for the first two virtual REBarcamp events.

Real estate, more than any other industry, is actively engaged in learning about and using many social tools. As a result, Realtors stand head and shoulders above others in business when it comes to appreciating the benefits of a free social business card.”
