Fikes

Spent the morning connecting with some great people for the Washington Multi-Family Housing Association’s last Supplier Roundtable of the year, led by our very own Mark Sims! His talk today, “Building The Best New You!”, was such a good topic for this time of year as we start thinking about what we want for ourselves going into 2025. Everyone was so engaged, sharing their own perspectives, the goals they have and what holds them back from being the best version of themselves 💎 Thank you to Sloane Cerbana for inviting Mark to speak and to all of the supplier partners who attended! #supplier #roundtable #learning #networking #buildingthebestnewyou #selfimprovement #goals

This year’s Chili Cook-Off with the Washington Multi-Family Housing Association was such a blast! 🌶️ With delicious chili, trick or treating, raffle prizes and appearances from the Seattle Seahawks Blue Thunder Drum Line, their mascot Blitz and the Seahawks Dancers, the day was full of fun energy from start to finish 🙌 We went with something strange and unusual for our booth theme this year and it was such a hit! We loved all the photo ops everyone got in our replica of the Beetlejuice waiting room 💀🎟️ It’s so fun seeing everyone go all out for this every year, both to get in the Halloween spirit and make a positive impact for the Domestic Abuse Women's Network (DAWN), the incredible organization this event benefits each year. We can’t wait to hear how much was raised this year! Massive thank you to the entire Washington Multi-Family Housing Association Team for another incredible event.
