January Community Service Project
We will be collecting stuffed bears or stuffed animals (new or gently loved) for the Rome & Floyd County police to use for children in crisis. Officers carry these stuffed animals in the trunk of their cars to comfort children who are in traumatic situations. You can drop off your stuffed animal(s) at the Board Office or bring it to the January meeting.

Buy Now! Marketing Campaign

Hopefully everyone has seen the “Buy Now-Ask a REALTOR®” ads in the Rome News-Tribune and on www.hometownheadlines.com. The orange yard signs will also be popping up around town. The advertising committee has done a great job with this campaign designed to promote confidence in the real estate market and convince the public that this is a good market with a great selection of homes, low interest rates and motivated sellers.
