One of the newest YPN chapters is already getting young people involved.

Meet Young REALTORS® of the Bluegrass (YRB), based in Lexington, Ky. They were one of eight new YPN chapters approved in September alone, bringing the total number of chapters nationwide up to 29.

As a kickoff event, YRB organized a networking social-hour on Aug. 17 at a local restaurant/bar with live music, food, and fun. Chairman Casey Weesner even worked with a local graphic design artist to create a logo, and a printing company in town donated 50 free t-shirts, which they gave out at the event.

YRP is now planning future fundraising and volunteer opportunities, and hope to have 50 members by the year’s end.
