Hawaii Randy's Real Estate Opinions: Active Rain Gathering in Honolulu – January 28, 2008

Active Rain Gathering in Honolulu – January 28, 2008

                          Waikiki    Aloha Tower Marketplace

We have been talking about this gathering ever since we learned the CRS Sell-a-bration was coming to Hawaii.  WooHoo Sally (Celeste Cheeseman) has reserved the location so it is on!

We will be gathering at the Gordon Biersch micro brewery.  For those of you who know Sally and I you may see the humor.  Neither of us drink, making us good designated drivers.

Monday January 28, 2008 

7:00pm until they throw us out 

1 Aloha Tower Drive Suite 1123
Honolulu, HI 96813
phone: 808-599-4877

We chose Gordon Biersch for a couple of reasons.

                                         Aloha Tower Marketplace      Aloha Tower

  • They are easy to find from Waikiki and the Hilton were the CRS convention is going on.
  • It has a large enough area to support us and they have similar gatherings regularly there
  • They have great food and pupus (appetizers in Hawaiian).

Directions from: Hilton Hawaiian Village (Location of the CRS Sell-a-bration):

  1. Turn left out of driveway on Kalia Rd.          (0.1Miles)
  2. Turn Left on Ala Moana Blvd.                       (2.6 Miles)
  3. Turn Left at Ala Moana Dr.                            (200 ft.)

There is valet and self parking on your right.  Gordon Biersch is in the back along the waterfront.

**  If you need a ride, I will have limited seating in my SUV.  My cell phone is (808) 384-5645

 

Attached is a list of those who have already confirmed their attendance to the Active Rain Honolulu Gathering:

So far we have commitments from those in the warmer climates of Hawaii, Florida, Arizona and California.  I know the list will be growing as those in snow country get the word.  The water is warm at the beach here.  I look forward to seeing the list grow. 

Rob & Kathy Broke the warm weather crowd lock.  We now members from Kansas, Delaware & Maryland on the list. Welcome aboard!

 

Aloha from warm sunny Hawaii.

Sally- The list should grow fairly fast. I know there are others coming in for the CRS Sell-a-bration.
Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 2 years ago
Randy-This event should be a lot of fun.  I sure wish there were more members that were able to make it out to Hawaii for the event.  I look forward to having a few glasses of milk with fellow AR members :)

Maggie - it is a trip that pays for itself.  The CRS Sell-a-bration is a great event to kick off 2008.

I flagged this post to feature Randy so they could get it on the dashboard and help us out ....there are just too many posts and we will get passed by without getting a good count.

Better than us trying to keep posting about this same ACTIVERAIN Gathering and not getting help.

Randy - sounds great. I assume there are cabs from the Hilton to this place. I know there are other CRS folks going who are in AR so we each need to spread the word. Should be a great time, as every AR gathering is.

Sally - Thank you

Jeff - There are cabs and there are some of us with vehicles.

Randy - how wonderful that you and Sally have this all arranged. Yes, Tami and I would like a ride, if that's possible - however you and Sally can arrange it.  Any luck in drumming up some attendees for our CLHMS class on Jan 24 and 25 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village? Looks like it will be a small class.
Posted by Sharon Simms St Pete FL - CRS CIPS CLHMS RSPS (ALVA International, Inc.) over 2 years ago

I will be there to help represent Hawaii AR!  See you guys, thanks for the invitation and organizing!!

Pete - Look forward to seeing you there.

I wish I could attend, I bet you all have a great time. Please be sure to post a ton of pictures.

Monika - I am sure there will be a few posts with pictures.  Possibly I will see you at another in the future.

Randy, my business partner Rob Luhrs is heading to Hawaii for celebration.  I will pass along to him.  He gets to do all the boring stuff like running the company while I get to blog.  :-)

Aloha David - I know he will enjoy Sell-a-bration.  I really liked it last year.

Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 2 years ago
Randy,  Me and my wife Darlene will be there.

Randy...

Can't wait to see the pics from the gathering.

It should be FUN :)

Such a shame that this coincides with Blogger's Connect in New York.

You'd probably have a bigger attendance if it weren't.

Bummer :(

TLW...ROAR!

Posted by "The Lovely Wife" (Broker Bryant's Wife) The One And Only TLW. (President-Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.) over 2 years ago

Randy,

You can add my husband Bill Bell to the attendee list since he is also coming along. He is also a Realtor but not yet CRS. We will probably take a taxi but Bill could be another designated "Diet Coke" drinker.

Posted by Kathy Sperl-Bell, ABR, CRS, SRES (RE/MAX Coast & Country) over 2 years ago

Mickey - I have you on the list, thank you.

TLW - We picked this time because the CRS Sell-a-bration will be in town. Along with Sharon Simms and the CLHMS designation class.  I know there will be a lot of pictures.

Kathy - I will add Bill to the list.  Thank you.

What a great idea!  I wish I was going, but I have always got so much else that I will miss this great event.  Please enjoy and have a "micro brew for the missing few"

Guy - I don't drink, but I am sure the others will make up for it.

Randy - We are getting packed today and flying to Hawaii tomorrow! Do you have an up-to-date list of attendees? FYI, I'll have my PDA, so I'll be on email as well as cell phone. Hope to see you Monday eve.
Posted by Kathy Sperl-Bell, ABR, CRS, SRES (RE/MAX Coast & Country) over 2 years ago

kathy - The list is posted above in the main post.  There will probably be a couple more names being added.

Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 2 years ago

That's really great that you guys have organized this event.  I would really like to attend, but.....

If anyone wants to come to Maui, I would organize a get together!  Is anyone coming over here?

I'm going to check Sally's blog.

Georgina - Hopefully there will be a couple of folks visiting Maui.
Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 2 years ago
Randy -  Maybe Mama's Fish House would be a good gathering spot.? 
Posted by Georgina M. Hunter R(S) e-Pro Maui Real Estate Sales (Jim Sanders Realty Inc. - Maui) over 2 years ago

Georgina - It's a shame you can't join us tomorrow in Honolulu.  Hopefully you will meet some Active Rainers in Maui.

Posted by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes) over 2 years ago
Randy - you know I would love to attend, but I have an escrow right now that needs a lot of hand holding and I don't want to be off island just now.  I hope you guys have a lot of fun and would love to see any visitors who make it to Maui.

Georgina - If you meet any of the Rainers in Maui, be sure to take pictures.
