Because we didn't have a March main meeting this month at Woodhaven, we didn't have an opportunity to hold our usual raffle to raise funds for the Home of the Innocents. Mike Fallot, from KREIA's Platinum Sponsor MM Lending, would like to rectify that. Mike has issued this challenge:

"MM Lending will match dollar for dollar, up to $500, for contributions by KREIA members to HOTI, thru 4/22/20. Hopefully we can raise at least $1,000 to continue to support HOTI."

Thank you, Mike! Come on, KREIA, let's make this happen! To take Mike up on this generous offer, send a check made out to Home of the Innocents to KREIA's snail mail address: P.O. Box 91225, Louisville, KY 40291.

At this webpage, the National Association of Realtors has distilled and summarized the 110-page bill to arrive at answers. The NAR has also prepared some PDF documents to help us digest the information:

• Overview of how NAR members are affected
• A breakdown of the benefits for Realtors, an outline of the major provisions

Rob Bergeron holds a conference call with real estate attorney Michelle Rawn and KREIA Past President Dennis Erhard to discuss questions landlords are having in these uncertain times:

• What's going on with the courts?
• Can evictions still be filed?
• Are closings still going on as usual?
• How can I help tenants find assistance and relief?
• Is this a good time to buy new properties?

And they also talk about why to never let a tenant trade work for rent.
