Welcoming our new Governors! This week we will tell you a little bit more about our newest board members. Wendy Theberge is a REALTOR at RE/MAX Elite, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Wendy has been in real estate for 15 years now (following after her Mother who was also a REALTOR) and before that was in media relations and worked as a local television reporter. She has also has degree in Journalism. ... Wendy has two grown and beautiful daughters - one is a biologist and the other a budding elementary school teacher. Her husband, Tony, works in communications for the Court of Queen's Bench and they have an amazing dog named Strider - German Shephard whom they love. These are some photos of Wendy volunteering at Ronald McDonald House and with her family! Welcome to the board, Wendy!

A message from our 2021 President, Nicole Mackoway REMAX Select: "Opening the first page of a new calendar is the best fresh start feeling. The REALTORS Community Foundation was thrilled this year to be able, with the generous support of North 49 Home Inspections Ltd. to produce our first calendar highlighting some of the charities we supported last year (email [email protected] for your copy(ies)!). Looking at our agendas, I hope in the weeks and month...s ahead we will once again be able to fill them with in-person meetings and events, and how excited will we all be when that day comes! I think we are all feeling a sense of anticipation and hope for what is to come in 2021, eager for new opportunities and adventure. Serving in the role of President for 2021, this is exactly the sentiment I am feeling and hoping to apply to my time in the role. Charities have historically relied heavily on in person events to fuel exciting opportunities to participate in 50/50’s, raffles, and auctions. But with adversity comes innovation, and I’m so proud of the Foundation's ability to adapt and continue to provide funding to local Edmonton Charities. I love to see how much REALTORS can do when they work together to provide for the communities they work and live in. Together we are powerful. And so, my focus as President in 2021 will very much be to increase the power of this great team of Edmonton Area REALTORS, spreading the word about the opportunities to get involved with our WE CARE program, or to give back with their time. I’m thankful to be given the chance to serve RCF in this way, and hope I can connect with many of you in the year ahead!
