本页标题: CREPA 在雨中参与 2012中僑百萬行

Rain, rain, rain and many, many enthusiastic people – these are the elements seen in the 27th annual S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Walk with the Dragon event held on July 15 at the Lumbermen’s Arch, Stanley Park in Vancouver. The annual Walk is one of the premier fundraising events held by S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation whose vision is to build “bridges” to promote social awareness and community involvement through the provision of quality programs and services.
雨，雨，雨和很多, 很多的热心人士 – 这些都是在7月15日在史丹利公园林柏民拱门举办的第27届中僑百萬行看到的景象. 中僑百萬行是中僑基金會 (S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation) 一年一度的重点筹款活动之一, 而该基金會的目标是要建立“桥梁”，通过提供优质的方案和服务以促进社会意识和社会参与.

And the CREPA team has raised over ten thousand dollars for the event! According to unofficial information, CREPA has raised $10,391 this year and is qualified for the Gold Cup Award the 7th time in a row. In addition, the funds raised this year is CREPA’s highest among the previous all.
而 CREPA 团队在这次活动中更筹得超过一万元的善款！据非官方消息，CREPA 团队为这次活动共筹得10,391元, 並连续第7年得到 “金杯奖” 的资格. 另外, 今年募集的资金亦是 CREPA 在之前的所有参与中最高的一次.

A friend of mine (Loming) sent me info of this new tool today – An app that could convert room pictures into a floor plan from your smartphone or tablet. Great for practitioners in the real estate market!

App converting room picture into floor plan

The app is named MagicPlan – it doesn’t just draw floor plans. It can measure the size of the rooms, draws the floor plan and creates a DXF file, PDF document, JPEG images and a web site with an interactive floor plan.

The app comes with a “free to use” and some “per fee” options (as always!). The pricing is very reasonable (my personal view) – 2.49 CAD or USD per plan (plus the DIY time spent – again, as always ^_^).

This is a follow-up on my earlier post titled “The 2012 MAC Golden Cube Event”. In that post I said I hope to get a copy of the group photo that was taken at the end of the event…

With the help of Melanie Briggs, Sales Director at MĀC Marketing Solutions, I got the great picture of that magnificent view! My BIG thanks to her and her great team!

I am glad to be able to share this great picture – Over 300 REALTORS waving hands to you!

The Second Annual MAC Golden Cube Awards dinner was held on April 16, 2012 at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond, British Columbia. Glad to be part of the event that evening! Over 400 guests were seen at the meeting (my guess only, haven’t got the exact figure from the organizer).
