“This annual event is not only a great opportunity to network with area commercial real estate professionals, but also a chance to support a wonderful organization,” says Kim Brennan, TCAR executive director. “For the past several years, we have been able to donate at least $10,000 to a designated charity in the region. With a 70s disco theme this year, it’s sure to be a blast for everyone attending.”

Held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., the event will feature light hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, entertainment and prizes. Members of each organization, as well as other commercial real estate-related practitioners who attend, are encouraged to dust off their wardrobes and wear their 70s attire.
