Message from the President...
On November 17, 2011, I was sworn in as the 2012 President of Women’s Council of Realtors. It was indeed an honor for me. Our theme was “Rolling Out The Red Carpet”.
As the story goes, they built a new church building and people came from far and wide to see it. They admired its beauty! Up on the roof, a little nail heard the people praising everything about the lovely structure-except the nail! No one even knew he was there, and he became angry and jealous.
“If I am that insignificant, nobody will miss me if I quit!” So the nail then released its hold, slid down the roof, and fell in the mud.
That night it rained and rained. Soon, the shingle that had no nail blew away, and the roof began to leak. The water streaked the walls and the beautiful murals. The plaster began to fall, the carpet was stained, and the pulpit Bible was ruined by water. All this because a little nail decided to quit!
But what of the nail? While holding the shingle, it was obscure but it was also useful. Buried in the mud it was just as obscure, but now it was useless and would soon be eaten up by rust! [Author Unknown]
The moral of the story---
EVERY MEMBER IS IMPORTANT TO THE WOMEN’S COUNCIL OF REALTORS OF MANATEE CHAPTER! You may, like the nail, feel obscure at times, but just like the nail, your absence is felt. When you are not present for meetings and luncheons, in some way the body of the Organization hurts. We are ALL a part of this Great Organization.
