An excited group of Malibu Realtors met Thursday night at the Bel Air Bay Club for the 54th annual installation Dinner Dance to honor their officers and directors and name a Realtor of the Year.
The selection of the Realtor of the Year is always kept secret until it’s announced at the Installation Dinner and this year, Michael Novotny, manager of the Fred Sands Malibu office, soon to be a Coldwell Banker office, won the honor.
Beverley Taki, who was the 1998 President, came back for another term and took over the president’s gavel from last year’s president, Terry Lucoff. The new officers and directors for the Year 2001 are: President Beverly Taki
President-elect Katherine Yarnell
Vice President Paul Randall
Sec./ Treas Ani Dermenjian
Past President Terry Lucoff
Directors: Karen Dannenbaum
Viki Darbonne
Paul Grisanti
Beverley Higgins
Lee LaPlante
Bill Mason
Natalie Soloway
Kirk Tarrats
Judy Van Schoyck
Anne-Christine von Wetter
The master of ceremonies for the event was Paul Spiegel and the installation of the new board was by Joe Galarze of Fidelity National Title.
