    Join us in Sacramento for C.A.R.’s Legislative Day and Block Party

    Join other members of the Santa Cruz County Association of REALTORS® and travel to Sacramento for C.A.R.’s Legislative Day. More than 2,000 REALTORS® are expected to attend.

    Legislative Day gives California REALTORS® the opportunity to meet and discuss real estate issues directly with their state legislators and staff, urging them to support creating opportunities for homeownership and to defeat bills that would impose unfair taxes that will make homeownership even more expensive for working Californians.

    Attending Legislative Day is not only a great investment in your business, but it also provides you with an opportunity to hear from California's most dynamic political leaders, enjoy great entertainment, and network with REALTORS® from around the state.

    SCCAR will also be hosting a luncheon for all our members who participate.

    This event is free to attend if you have paid the additional $49 (or more) to the REALTOR® Action Fund. If you have not, the event fee is $49. There is a no-show fee for the luncheon.

    And come by the night before for C.A.R.’s third annual Legislative Day Block Party! A full city block in downtown Sacramento will be closed down and filled with food trucks, games, a D.J., and lots of photo opportunities. You won’t want to miss the fun! The Block Party runs from 6:30 PM-9:00 PM on Tuesday, April 29th. The fee to attend is $25.

    To register for Legislative Day and/or the Block Party or to learn more, please contact Andrea Harbert at aharbert@mysccar.org
