We are *very* excited to invite everybody to a fun (and different!) company event to celebrate Fall!  We’ve heard that the Renwood Fields Maze in Charles City County is a great place for a company team building event.  Check it out at http://www.renwoodfieldsmaze.com/.

And, it turns out that our first “Guess the List Price” house – John Sawin’s personal home on the James River in Tettington – is just up the street (we have it listed – check it out here!)

Soooo…we’re going to do a wine & cheese ‘meet the builder’ social at the house at 3:00 on Wednesday, October 5^th, to give everyone an opportunity to see this amazing property for themselves, followed by a fun adventure at Renwood Fields at 4:30 sponsored by our friends at Townebank.

Be sure to RSVP so we have a headcount for the social!
