Welcome to the Edmonton Revenue Property Investors Monthly Newsletter

It's time again and the monthly association meeting of our group has arrived. For those of you new to this e-mailing here are the particulars.

            Once a month on the second Tuesday of each month a like-minded group of real estate investors meet on the second floor at Rosie’s Restaurant. Located at the corner of 105 St. and 80 Ave.  Arrivals at 6:30 and the meeting starts at 7:00 pm. You are cordially being invited to attend. Attendees are required to pay $5 at the door. There is no annual membership charge yet. All attendees and visitors are asked to buy $5 worth of food to support the use of Rosie’s Restaurant 2nd floor meeting room, and please generously tip your server, this helps to support our free use of the meeting room. Please bring a few of your used real estate or self help books that you no longer require to donate to our library or door prizes.  If you park to the east of Rosie’s in the strip mall parking lot, please pick up a free parking pass from the bar to put on your windshield. 

            Each meeting is different as we may bring in special guest speakers for each meeting. Each speaker is uniquely qualified in his or her own specific field of expertise. Even a seasoned investor will be pleasantly surprised with the knowledge gained from attending our meetings. We encourage all attendees to participate at the meetings by asking our speakers your pertinent questions. We need and appreciate your input at all meetings. Like-minded investors can and do learn and help each other to achieve success.

               We really do look forward to seeing you and please bring a friend to our next meeting. If you have a friend that you feel would like to be put on our e-mail list send their e-mail to me.
