On Saturday February 21st, 2009, I flew into Orlando, Florida for the Keller Williams Family Reunion 2009

International Event. 7,000 Agents from KW as well as guest from other firms invaded the Orange County

Convention Center.

Gary Keller welcomed some of the early attendees with some great information and"Down is the New Up"

and a special concert with The Guess Who. Attendees to the session were also treated to a live

performance and on-stage interview with guitarist Billy McLaughlin. Sunday was packed with classes for

every level agent or team as well as the "Vision Speech" from Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.

The IALC met on Monday and proved what a democratic company Keller Williams represents. Mark Willis

reminded the attendees that at KW, the decisions are created and implemented from the bottom up, not

dictated from ownership. Awesome!

So much to see and learn it is hard to put into words! Red Bash was over the top! I took the following

pictures with my cell phone. I'm sorry that they are not better quality.

Colin Powell announced on Meet the Press (10/19/2008) this morning that he will be voting for Barack Obama. How will this affect your vote?

Let me start by saying that this is not an endorsement but rather a synopsis of the rally this morning. My wife and I got a late start (if getting there 2 hours early is a late start). We parked about a half mile away from the convention center. Then the circus began, Police on horses, protestors, button and t shirt salesmen. Very entertaining! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Hair Down!

All in all, it was interesting, to the best of my knowledge no one got hurt, and we all went back to work,,,,,except for these guys???!!!!
