Sherman Dreiseszun Scholarship Fund Doubles

The Sherman Dreiseszun Scholarship Fund just doubled in size today as the Dreiseszun Family Foundation added another $15,000 to the original amount donated by the Copaken White and Blitt families a few years ago.  These funds will stay in an endowment for perpertuity in honor of one of Kansas City's legends of real estate, Sherman Dreiseszun.  The earnings of this fund will be used to subsidize students who intend to pursue a long term career in real estate but need some financial assistance to do so.  Our city is so fortunate to have such generous and caring people who choose to make our city a better place.  Thank you to the CWB people and to the Dreiseszun Family Foundation.   Your support will sew seeds of success in our community. 

President's Club

Our Third Annual Presidents Club was great fun and very informative.  Brio's food was delicious as well.  Frank Lenk from the Mid America Regional Council performed his usual stellar rendition of "How to make your community grow healthy, wealthy and wise through sustainable infrasctucture".  His ideas and research stimulated a great deal of enthusiastic discussion and it was truly insightful.   This was a great opportunity to gather together those leaders who volunteer their time to be President of their local commercial real estate organizations.  These are the people who are being "significant" as well as being successful.  Our community is fortunate to have these dynamic and successful leaders.  Several of the advisory council members attended as well and added to the lively conversation.   A picture of the austere group and names to follow.  Stay tuned.
