SARATOGA SPRINGS -  On Friday, September 25, 2015 the Greater Capital Association of REALTORS® hosted its annual REALTOR® Day Trade Show at the City Center in Saratoga Springs, New York. More than 200 professional REALTOR® members were in attendance along with 60 affiliates and vendors. The event featured Keynote Speaker: Entrepreneur, Blogger and
Author Chris Smith, who was recently named the most influential person in the real estate
industry.

Each year, at the trade show, GCAR holds a fundraiser to benefit an organization within the community. This year, a silent auction, raffle and live auction was held to benefit Code Blue, a walk-in, emergency homeless shelter in Saratoga Springs. Code Blue offers a hot meal and a warm place to sleep when temperatures in the city are below 20 degrees or there is significant snowfall. The shelter’s Code Blue Coordinator, Cheryl Ann Murphy-Parant, attended the event and expressed gratitude on behalf of those who will seek comfort at the shelter this winter. GCAR members raised more
than $4,000 for the organization at the event.
