The Washington County Board of Realtors is lending their group's support to the families of the two Washington County High School students who were tragically struck by lightning.

The Washington County Board of Realtors is lending their group's support to the families of the two Washington County High School students who were tragically struck by lightning in front of a local High School on October 5th.  The two boys were transported by Life Flight Air Ambulance to a Las Vegas Extreme Critical Care Burn Unit.  The Washington County Board of Realtors is urging all Local Realtors to make donations if possible to the two families of the injured boys.  The local office of Coldwell Banker Premier Realty is assisting this donation drive by accepting donations at their 157 East Riverside Drive office.  These donations should be made payable to Snow Canyon High School.  These much needed funds will be divided equally with the two families who have been impacted by this life changing lightening strike.  Thanks again.  We all know these accidents could have happened to anyone of us.  It is at times like this when communities can come together and create bonds that last a lifetime.

Realtors Elect New Officers

Installation for 2010-2011 officers and directors for the Washington County Board of  Realtors took place at the Dixie Convention Center on Sept. 16, 2010.  UAR National Director, Jim Brihghurst of Salt Lake City installed the new officers.  He said,"your Board and its executive officer Vardell Curtis are known throughout the state and nationally for the premier organization and quality of Realtors".  The Realtors have been huge contributors to Habitat for Humanity, Coins For Kids, Dixie Care & Share and numerous other Not for Profit groups.

Outgoing president, Kathy Nielsen passed the gavel to incoming president Rand McCullough, whose theme was "Climbing to New Heights".  His optimistic speech about the future of St. George housing was enthusiastically supported by 850 Realtors in Washington County.

"Our future is bright and though home values are down from previous years, we live in a very desirable community with weather and quality of life that will fuel the desire to live in Washington County".  His challenge was to climb to new heights and every individual can be better with their individual effort.
