If you missed last Wednesday's meeting ...

Leon Schearer, American Real Estate and Appraisal Company

Real Estate in the Triangle Region

Lee Schearer - Owner of American Real Estate & Appraisal Company has seen numerous "ebbs & flows" in real estate values and interest rates since his licensure in March of 1971 (48 years in business). He also accredits much of his success to his faithful participation and attendance to the Chapel Hill Leads Group, now in its 21 consecutive years. He will be available to entertain a lively discussion, questions and opinions about either of these subjects.

... You were indeed missed.

More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

Did You Know:

From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members

"Appreciation"

I recently came upon a Tibetan prayer, that I wish to share with you, and one that illustrates the value of appreciation:

"Grant that I may be given appropriate difficulties and sufferings on this journey, so that my heart may be truly awakened and my practice of liberation and universal compassion may be truly fulfilled"

I invite you to join me at the Chapel Hill Leads Group, this Wednesday morning and to witness how appreciative our members are for the opportunity to meet face to face with other business owners who are those with whom we like, we know and we trust. Our methods have proven to be successful as the Chapel Hill Leads Group celebrates our 20th continuous year of helping our members become successful.

Remember to bring a big smile on your face, a skip in your step, a song in your heart and an attitude of appreciation for the life you live, and the opportunities for success in this great country, America, the beautiful.

Respectfully,

Lee Schearer


Support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
