 CCAR Installation Banquet RECAP!     

  

The Cowlitz County Association of Realtors Installation Banquet was on Friday, December 2nd, and had the Monticello Hotel decked out -- complete with red carpet arrivals! The banquet went very well and the Hollywood Nights brought out all the stars!

 

We welcomed our new president, Shirley Nelson, and thanked David Thelin for a well done 2011 year. The award winners were: Affiliate of the Year: Joel Lengyel, Rookie Realtor: Barbara Anderson, Realtor Achievement: Mike Wallin, Realtor Community Service: Dennis LaVoie, and Realtor of the Year: David Thelin.  From food to decorations, it was a fabulous evening!
