Updated Weather Information
Updated: 8:15AM, 2/26/2008
The weather is sunny and clear
in Des Moines as of Tuesday morning. Road conditions are
expected to improve during the morning.
Due to road conditions,
we have revised the schedule for Tuesday's bus-in day.
We will still be holding the event, however, the lunch
has been moved back 1 hour from 11:30am to 12:30pm. This
should give more time for roads to improve around the state.
Mark your calendar for this year's Legislative Bus-In day,
scheduled for February 26, 2008. This event brings hundreds
of REALTORS® to Des Moines to meet with legislators and
discuss important real estate issues.

The legislature needs to hear from REALTORS® regarding
the issues that are important to real estate and important
to keep the real estate industry a vibrant piece of Iowa's
economy.
This event is FREE for REALTORS® and includes bus transportation
from "hubs" around the state, as well as food and drink while
in Des Moines.
This event is critical to our legislative success in the coming
year and has become one of the largest political action events
for the Iowa legislature.

Don't Believe in Political Action?
FINE.
When they . . . . . .
eliminate the mortgage interest deduction and
raise property
taxes and
tax your commission and
increase your liability . . .
.
You
will ask, “Where was IAR?”
And
we will reply, “Where
were you?”
We need YOU at this
event...
Don't leave it up to somebody else.
Real estate is your livelihood.
Is one day
