“READ” for Profit
Real Estate Authors Discussion (READ) for Profit Program
This new “READ” for Profit Program, which started in February, will be held from 5:45 to 6:30 PM each month (same time as the Toolkit) before the monthly membership meetings. Members will have the opportunity to purchase the author’s book for $25 at all DIG meetings. Dates for each session will be noted in the newsletter. This will give everyone plenty of time to read the book and write down questions and comment.
