My May is shaping up to be a wonderfully busy schedule. Besides the usual real estate fun of listings and settlements, the calendar is holding some special events that I'd love to have Active Rainers enjoy, too. Take a look and see how many of these events you can be a part of:
Friday May 1, 9:30 a.m to 11:30 a.m. at GBBR (Greater Baltimore Board of REALTORS®) office in Lutherville, MD. I'll be talking with the Greater Baltimore Rookie REALTORS® group about my experiences using technology and the new social media. As organizer and host Kim Jones, says, "To keep on the cutting edge of the industry, it is important to stay up on the technological advances that are occurring every day. Social Media definitely is impacting the way we can most effectively reach potential clients." See the details and sign up in the Facebook Special Session page: http://tinyurl.com/dx5a4p.
Thursday May 7, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at The Art Resource located 1106 N Charles St. in Baltimore, MD. An unusual art auction plus a gallery wine and cheese reception, and book signing. The Brewer's Art restaurant on the first floor makes a convenient stop before, during, or after this First Thursday event.
Tuesday May 18, 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at GBBR. Three top real estate women in one place – you know this will be fun!: Joeann Fossland will talk about e-Pro, and Frances Flynn Thorsen will enlighten us about blogging, social media, and No Blogger Left Behind. And all sponsored by Margaret Rome (yep, that's me), author of Real Estate the Rome Way, one of Trulia's Top 10 Real Estate Books for 2008. Let's make this one an AR Gathering, too!
Friday, May 29 through Sunday, May 31 in New York City. At least part of that time I'll be at the Javits Center where my book will be on display at Book Expo America, the annual massive trade show for the publishing industry. If you're in the Big Apple that weekend, let's see if we can connect.
That's it so far, but it's only April, so anything can happen. Where will I see you in May?

Wow, May is going to be a busy month for you. GOod luck and have some fun.
Way to go Margaret!!!! The events you mentioned sound fun but most iimportant informative. Much success.
Cheers
Great news about your book success! One of these days I will get one written. Looks like all these events will not be close by for me to attend.
Hi Margaret, You are officially a 'Mover and a Shaker". That's wise that your Board is embracing social networking. We recently had Lola Audu doing con ed on blogging. Learn as well as get your con ed requirement done!
Featured @ Club Chaos
Seems like your schedule is full for the month. Enjoy yourself.
Hi, Margaret - next you need to write an e-book on Active Rain theRome Way. You're always great at combining online communication with picking up the phone.
Hello Margaret! You have some exciting activities on your May schedule, mainly because you'll be attending! What enrichment that will be for the Rookies that you'll be speaking to. If I was in town, I wouldn't want to miss the Book Expo either. (I really like the graphic too!) Have a wonderful Easter weekend. :-)
Margaret, What a wonderful month you have coming up! If I were closer and not so busy I would especially love to see you signing your book...I can't imagine what a thrill that will be. I wish you all the success in the world!
Erica, Love your name! It is also my daughter's.
Fred, Enjoyed speaking with you this evening.
Lizette, Kentucky is not right around the corner. When are you going to start that book?
Marian, Love the name 'Mover and Shaker'. I bet Lola was terrific. How about a post about her!
C, Thank you for feature. Did you notice NYC in May?
Pat, I am enjoying my wonderfully full schedule
Sharon, I need to pick up the phone and say Hi to you....but not at this hour.
Mara, Wish you were going to be in town. Would love to meet you.
Carole, Did you notice where I will be the end of May? NYC!
Hi Margaret, Congratulations on the success of the book. How wonderful for you and your trip to the Big Apple sounds like it will be a wonderful new experience for our friend and author of the book, " Real Estate The Rome Way ".
Margaret - that is so exciting about yoru book - Contrats! Have a wonderful May - sounds like you will!
Margaret,
We are having a great response to the May 1st Technology and Social Media/Networking Session from Rookies and VETERANS alike. Good information is always valuable, no matter how long you have been in the business. Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to be able to address the group and promote it as well!
Congratulations on the book Margaret. I sure wish I could be at the event so I could meet you in person. All the best!
Mmmmmmmmmargaret... it looks like you're even busier than I am and that's saying a lot! ;-) Really happy to see all is well. Have a great weekend/Easter my friend.
William, Everything about the book is exciting. Thanks for your continuing support.
Janice, Thanks for your good wishes.
Kim, I am so proud of you for being such a big part of making the Rookie group a success. Don't forget to bring Gregg.
Susie, Md and NC are not that far from each other. Have a feeling we will meet one day.
mARTi, Don't think anyone can be busier than and more productive than you!
I have such a cool aid grin. NYC for the week end, eh? Shavuot is Friday May 29th (LOL). This will be very interesting. I may try to hang on out Saturday. Already picked a cool spot to eat at. Gonna take you out bay-bay! :-)
We don't have sooo many folks in southeastern Wisconsin that we can do an AR sort of thing...wish we did...we may just have to reach down to Illinois to host/hostess some sort of picnic or something...WE knew the book would be where it is....and the next one is what ?
It looks like a full schedule with a lot of great events. Hope you enjoy them all.
Best of luck to you.

Sally and David, You always say the best things.
Joan, My plan is to enjoy everything.
Thank you, Lisa.
Sounds like a fun seminar Margaret. I hope you have a great time!
Bill, Mayb you could plan to come visit us for one of the sessions.
Hi Margaret, had a look at your blog as promised. Nice site, good info.
Mike, Thanks for taking a look with that neat eye of yours.
Sounds like May is going to be busy and fun.
Rebecca, We could always have an AR gathering near you. How about at the Greenbriar...what a lovely place
Margaret, Good luck with your seminar, hope it creates more buzz about your book too:-)
Rebecca, The seminar should be fun. Thanks for stopping by.
Margaret, I can't wait for these events. You are FANTASTIC and such a wonderful person to share with all of us. I am so glad to have gotten the opportunity to meet you yesterday. I plan to blog about my WCR presentation tomorrow.
Thank you for your input & assistance!
OMG, Did someone say "blintzes"? Hmmmmm....
Sounds like a blast Margaret. I can hardly wait! I love Maryland in May ... soft shell crabs are in season, the weather is wonderful, and it sounds like there will be some incredible energy in Baltimore. Ahhhh...
Marney, You did an outstanding job at the WCR luncheon this week. It was a pleasure meeting you. Love you energy, your youth and your enthusiam. I am also doing a post but need a few photos from Thursday.. do you have any?
Fran, When we get together, food is a big topic. The blintzes will be in New York. Really looking forward to you being in Baltimore with us. Let's do dinner after the session.
Margaret,
Thank you so much for calling me today. I plan to see you on May 18th! I have a question that may seem strange - I have a marketing partner who is a loan officer. Can I bring him? - I think he would benefit. If it is only for an audience of Realtors, I certainly understand. Thanks so much!
Linda, You are welcome. All are invited, please invite your loan officer. Any chance we might see you on May 1st and May 7th?
I will try to make it, Margaret. Thanks! Is there a registration? Should I just call GBBR?
Linda, Please send me an email to register for you and your guest for the 18th.
Margaret, congrats on getting your book published! I'd love to find out more about your book, I'll send you an email.
Hi Regina, I would call but it is too early on your coast.
