Hi,  I am Paul Corder the Planning Director for the City of Lebanon.  

More recently I got my PMP (Project Management Professional) certificate and became a project director for a large construction firm.

I am a chair of a nonprofit organization who is always looking for new investors.

Along with my work in real estate, I am in the incoming chair of the Sacramento Association of Realtor's (SAR) Cultural Diversity and Fair Housing Committee and a member of the SAR Charitable Research Committee.

Half the time I am outside talking about deals with other members or bored in my chair.

Write a letter to the HR director, asking them to post the flyer on the employee bulletin board, and snail-mail the letter and flyer to them.Pros: In theory, HR would like to know about housing options near their plant, because employees need a place to live.Cons: HR may get a lot of this kind of stuff already and might be used to tossing it in the trash.2.
