The Mid-South Relocation Councils board of directors recently voted to make a donation of $1,000 to Habitat for Humanity. The contribution was divided between the Memphis and Nashville areas so each group received a check for $500. This is the second consecutive year that MRC has chosen to donate to a local cause. After using membership dues for educational seminars, networking opportunities and speaker fees, the group determined that excess money would be used to help a local organization. MRC is a group of corporate members and service providers who deal in all aspects of relocation. The Appraisal Institute will offer several continuing education seminars in August.
