SAR at the Sacramento Hmong New Year

This past weekend SAR participated in the Sacramento Hmong New Year at Cal Expo. It started last Thursday at 9am and concluded yesterday afternoon around 4pm. More than 10,000 people were anticipated to attend. This was an effort put forth by SAR’s Equal Opportunity/Cultural Diversity Committee and more than 15 SAR Members volunteered to staff the booth in 3½ – hour shifts over the 4-day weekend.

A big draw to SAR’s booth was the spinning prize wheel where attendees could spin for a chance to win a variety of prizes. Several hundred Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) were donated by the SAR Realty Supply Center to give away at the event, as well as other fun prizes donated by various Equal Opportunity Committee Members.

This participation proved a great exposure to the local Hmong Community as volunteers distributed information on the benefits of using a Realtor^® and becoming a homeowner. What a great success!
