Subject: You're Invited - October Real Estate Reunion
A message from Al McCullough:
YOU’RE INVITED
A GATHERING OF RETAIL REAL ESTATE ICONS
You are receiving this email for at least one of the following 10 reasons. What might they be?
- You are or have been in the shopping center business for a long time.
- You are or were considered one of the icons of your chosen profession (even if only in your own mind).
- You represented at least one Landlord/Developer or Retailer no longer in business.
- Although you took the business seriously… you didn’t take yourself seriously.
- Someone surfaced your name as a person that liked to sit around and talk about how things use to be.
- You were recognized as someone who liked to have fun.
- You have retired from the business but miss the relationships.
- Looking back on your career, the thing you miss the most is the expense account.
- You are still involved in the business and believe it is better than it ever was (for those in this category we have a board certified request for a temporary leave of absence from your facility).
- You are old.
During the so called “Good old days” , ICSC had Idea Exchanges and National events throughout the year. From those events we got to see many of our friends and business associates. A very illustrious group (in their own minds) has decided to meet for the purpose of renewing friendships, swapping stories, paying our respects by hoisting a beverage or two in honor of some of our comrades who have moved on to the Mega Mall in the sky.
Please feel good about yourself, for you are still remembered by those putting this “Reunion” of sorts together. Yes, the same people that have difficulty remembering what they had for breakfast.
I have been informed by several of the “older” Macerich team members, lead by Mr. Ron Bondy, that they started to plan this “Come Together” last year but were of course stopped in their tracks by Covid-19. So here we go again with high hopes and great resolve that the second attempt will succeed.
The gathering and activities will be fine-tuned as we begin to get feedback as to how many will decide to join us. We hope you are one. Herein are the bones of the gathering along with the names and email addresses of those receiving invitations. If there are others that come to mind that we have overlooked please let us know. Please RSVP to Taylor at tkcmccullough@outlook.com and be sure to watch for email updates from her address.
Invitees: See below.
If you have contact information for those listed without a known email address, please provide that information to Taylor at tkcmccullough@outlook.com. Please let us know if there are others that come to mind that we have overlooked.
