Dear Boston REIA Members and Friends,

Boston REIA is still meeting the 1st Thursday of month from 7:00- 9:00PM.  Please check our website for more details about meeting topics and location as current restrictions are lifted. This year has been a challenge and although we love “seeing” you on our Zoom calls, we miss engaging with you in person!

Happy New Year!
