RPAC
The Realtor Political Action Committee (RPAC) hosted a VIP lounge with free caricature artists, psychics, and manicures. The VIP lounge raised $6,000 for RPAC.
Community Relations
The GCAR Community Relations Committee members held a Silent Auction to benefit the Bethesda House in Schenectady County. Brenda Larkin, Christine Glogowski, Diane Sluus, Melissa Petalas, and Jonie Civill monitored the auction and sold chances to win a beautiful Lagos bracelet from Northeastern Fine Jewelry! Ashley Carter, Director of Program Shelter and Case Management at Bethesda House joined the committee members to promote the organization’s good work.
The Bethesda House is an interfaith ministry to the homeless, disabled, and economically disadvantaged citizens of Schenectady County, building a just, hospitable and inclusive community one person at a time by affirming the dignity and addressing the needs of each guest entering their House of Mercy.
Nancy Koval (BSNB) was the lucky winner of a beautiful Lagos bracelet from Northeast Fine Jewelry!
