Plans are underway for the 18^th annual Noel November, A Celebration of Trees and a Tradition of Giving Back to our Community, to be held on Saturday, November 3^rd 2012 at the Flat Creek Country Club. This year’s theme is Home for the Holidays. If your Fayette county non-profit 501(c)3 organization would like to be considered as one of the recipients for Noel November 2012, NOW is the time to apply. The Fayette County Board of REALTORS^® just finalized its new grant application and welcomes any qualifying Fayette County organization to submit its request in writing. The process of choosing a charity each year is a tough task, especially when there are so many deserving organizations. The grant application provides a fair and equitable opportunity to compare the structure for dissemination of funds for each organization. The 4-page grant application is available online at www.NoelNovember.com or at www.FayetteRealtors.com. Applications must be completed in full and received by Friday, May 18^th in order to qualify for consideration.
