As we celebrate the life of Father Hartnett today and tomorrow, let's make him proud! I want to send at least one student to Marist next year in his honor! Tuition is approximately $15,000 per year. If 150 of us give $100 we've got it done! While I know not everyone can give that much, some of us will give more. I'm connected with almost 800 Marist Alumni on Social Media, if everyone gave $20 that's $16,000. As Father Hartnett always said, every dollar counts!
Come on fellow Marist friends let's make him proud. I hope to see many of you tonight and tomorrow.
It's very easy. I just went here www.marist.com/onlinegiving and made my donation to the Fr. James L. Hartnett, S.M. Scholarship Fund and you can do it too!

Today is sad day for the Marist Family as we grieve the loss of former Marist School President, Rev. James L. Hartnett, S.M., who passed away on April 18, 2010. Later this week, we will join together to celebrate the man who gave us a lifetime and will live on forever in the history of Marist School. Down a curvy drive beside Nancy Creek sitting up on stilts over an “open-air” breezeway we called “the arcade” is a place where I spent six incredible years of my life. Those years shaped who I am today, formed lifelong friendships and memories I will never forget. No matter where life takes me and how many years go by, I will always be a “War Eagle” and bleed blue and gold! While it has been over a decade since my time at Marist, it will always hold a special place in my heart. This is the Marist Experience to which Father Hartnett dedicated his life. He was always a very active part of everything. Whether it was a football game on Friday night or a theatrical performance, you could count on him making an appearance. You would always find Fr. Hartnett walking the halls, the arcade, library, or cafeteria, and conversing with students. His interactions with students were much different than those of other faculty. He was always extremely kind and compassionate and was not a disciplinarian. He embodied the definition of “leading by example”. He never led by fear but exemplified the principles taught by Christ. It was always a treat when he delivered the Homily. Rev. James L. Hartnett was ordained into the priesthood in 1955. He spent the majority of his career at the Marist School where he served in various positions including teacher, treasurer, principal, fund-raiser extraordinaire and president until his retirement in 2001 shortly after the completion of his most successful $25,000,000 capital campaign. His love, devotion, and contributions to Marist School and the Society of Mary are insurmountable. Hartnett’s vision was to educate youth in the image of Christ. He never wanted money to be a barrier to a Marist education. The Fr. Hartnett Scholarship Fund helps to sustain his vision by providing tuition assistance for those families who cannot afford a Marist Education. I remember sitting with Fr. Hartnett at the rectory one evening in the fall of 2002. He asked me if I had donated to Marist. I quickly reminded him that I had not yet even graduated from college. He in turn reminded me that he did not care about the size of the donation because every dollar counted! Looking back, it is hard not to laugh; he was always watching those dollars! This was an integral part of making sure that Marist was able to grow and continue to give the best educational experience available. I am forever thankful to you, Father, for making my Marist experience unforgettable. Robert Rogers, Class of 1998
This is more good news for the real estate market! The major lenders being required to respond to short sale offers within 10 days will make the process of buying a short sale much easier on both the current homeowner and the purchaser!

There’s a certain place online that people regard as sacred. It’s their own private garden on the net that, when invited in, you can grow contacts into personal and professional relationships. Yes, even deeper than through social media.
Frankly, it’s not that difficult to find these places. Click through and see how…
Now, it’s no secret that I’m a fan of email marketing. If for no other reason than the fact that it’s the only online marketing that people actually ask for, I recommend every Realtor build themselves a list of email subscribers.
See, even in the age of social media, email is still a person’s private garden. When someone asks to receive your marketing in their inbox, they’re letting you into their personal life.
What happens when you become friends through social media? You start emailing one another. And chances are that people aren’t socially networked with those that are most important in their lives, but they do connect via email.
Email is your fundamental tool online. Nowhere else do folks actually ask for and invite your marketing.
It makes sense then to encourage folks to let you into their inbox so that you can get personal with them. And it’s not hard to do…
All you have to do is send them something interesting at least once a week. That’s 52 contacts a year … intimate contacts.
Are you asking folks to let you into their inbox?
