March and Spring are just around the corner (hopefully)!  And everything's coming up green at DAAR.  March is Green Month at DAAR, and there's lots of ways to fuel that spring fever:

• Attend the "It's So Easy Being Green" Lunch Matters on 3/3 (Hosted by Repax Inc.)
• Get out and renew connections with friends and colleagues at the Networking Matters on 3/4.  The beer won't be green, but spirits will be bright.
• Attend the "Building Your Business as a Green REALTOR®" Lunch Matters on 3/24(Hosted by Option-1 Title)
• Work on your Green Designation by taking the Green Core Course on 3/10 and 3/11
• Take advantage of our "Green" specials in the DAAR store.  St. Joseph's medals are on sale for $8 in case you have any listings that aren't turning into green in your wallet.  And we have DAAR logo'd short-sleeve polo shirts from Lands End for just $16, in case you're sick of turtle necks and multiple layers.  Both are a 20% savings.
