SRCAR Connect

Imagine having access to listings across the Southland in one place and in one data feed. It was announced today that the CARETS IDX data feed for brokers is on schedule to be delivered on June 2, 2008. This historic event will mark the first time the full listing data from participating MLSs throughout most of the Southland will be available in one data feed.

After delivery of the IDX data feed, work will begin to aggregate listing data from each MLS into the CARETS “super” data set. In the September/October timeframe all listings will be available within MRMLS Matrix. The CARETS data set will cover all property types, all statuses, and all history. Come see the proof-of-concept at the CARETS booth at the CAR Expo, June 4th– June 5th in Sacramento.

Questions and Answers:

Q. What is IDX?
A. IDX stands for “Internet Data Exchange” and is a downloadable raw data feed that allows you to customize the way listings are displayed on your website.

Q. When will CARETS IDX be available for Agents?
A. The CARETS IDX feed for agents will follow Mid-Summer.

Q. Which MLSs are participating in CARETS?

• CLAW (Combined Los Angeles/Westside)

• SoCal MLS (Orange County and parts of Los Angeles County)

Q. How can I get more information on CARETS?

<br />
I just wanted to write to introduce myself. My name is 1stLt Mary Bittner. CWO2 Mauricio Torres passed your information on to me and told me about all the wonderful support that you've given to him and his crew. I just want to let you know that my Marines and I are settling in nicely and are in good spirits. For many of us it is our first time in Iraq, but a handful have been here before. I'm excited about the next few months and I think the Marines and I are going to do a lot of good things.<br />
<br />
I hope that you and yours are doing well. We appreciate all the support that you have already given. If you would like to continue to support us, just let me know. Otherwise, I wish you the best life has to offer. We couldn't do what we do without people like you and I know Mauricio and his Marines truly appreciated what you did for them.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
1stLt Mary Bittner<br />
<br />
=======================================<br />
<br />
Good Morning,<br />
<br />
I am so happy to hear from you.<br />
<br />
It will be our pleasure and joy to support you while you are in Iraq.<br />
I know each group has different needs and we will try to send your requests. Some of the platoons must carry everything and so small individual packages are a must.<br />
<br />
Others I can send large containers and they share. One platoon may need lots of socks and foot powder and others seem not to need any.<br />
<br />
My friends and I try to send what will bring the most comfort and joy to our troops.<br />
If you can let us know we would rather send snacks that remind you of home than razors if you don't need them.<br />
<br />
We got a request for Little Debbies and I thnk it was like Christmas to have Little Debbies and Starbucks coffee.<br />
One special lady of our group gives me Starbucks coffee to send.<br />
<br />
We are so thankful for our troops and your sacrifice.<br />
<br />
Give our love and thanks to Mauricio Torres as he goes to his family.<br />
<br />
God bless and stay safe,<br />
<br />
Jan &amp; friends<br />
<br />
==========================================<br />
<br />
<br />
Jan and friends,<br />
I talked to the Marines about what they need and they gave me a short<br />
list. Mostly, they want snacks. I hope this helps.<br />
<br />
Popcorn<br />
Kool-aid (with sugar pre-mixed in)<br />
Gold fish crackers<br />
Hot Cheetos (Cpl Beamus' favorite chips)<br />
Pringles<br />
Creamer (any flavor)<br />
Magazines – Super Street Bike<br />
Motorcyclist<br />
Sport Rider<br />
People<br />
Sport Bike<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm sure the requests will change over time. We're all still doing well<br />
on toiletries since we have only been out here for a few weeks. Please<br />
let me know if you have any questions.<br />
<br />
Thank you for the support,<br />
<br />
1stLt Mary Bittner

<img style="float: right; border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://www.srcar.org/images/random/Palm_Tree.gif" alt="" />Dear Sirs/Madam:<br />
<br />
The Women’s Council of REALTORS®, Southwest Riverside County Chapter, is proud to announce our 4th Annual Fashion Show to be held at Wilson Creek Winery, Temecula, CA on Tuesday, September 18, 2007. “A Tropical Evening” will benefit Michelle’s Place, our local community Women’s Breast Cancer Resource Center, and our Council’s educational fund. We invite you to join our efforts and help make our 4th Annual Fashion Show a success. Make a commitment to join the fight to save lives. Your gift will be used as a prize in our drawing or auction. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your business and let the public know of your community involvement. Your gift will be verbally acknowledged at the fashion show as well as displayed on our signage and brochure. For your information, Michelle’s Place tax identification number is 33-0951216.<br />
<br />
Proceeds from the Fashion Show will help fund Michelle’s Place efforts for Support Services, Resource Line, Library, Educational Programs, and for many other resources. Especially important at Michelle’s Place is the provision of education to those women not yet touched by the disease. They must know that if a lesion is mammographically detected during the early stages, chances of survival and/or a cure rate are raised to a dramatic 95% or more. This is a major improvement over today’s variable survival rates among ethnic groups ranging from 55% to 79% because, like Michelle, many of them are discovering breast cancer too late. It is clear that a very high priority for Michelle’s Place is to help educate everyone in our community, from our young women to seniors. The WCR educational Fund assists local REALTORS their continuing education. Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your time and consideration, we look forward to your positive response, a self-addressed envelope is enclosed for your convenience. <br />
