This time of year, you’ll hear about slow, lazy summers — the “dog days,” if you will. But around here, CHB is heating up with the weather, and we’re likely to stay hot until hunting season rolls around in the fall. Chief on our August calendar is staff training. We talked in the cover article about the capabilities of our remote notarization setup, but that’s not the only new tech that has us excited this month. We’re also switching over from using Core Director to handle our back-end processes and automation to having all of that handled by the SilverLake system instead. It’s a big shift, but a necessary one. In addition to a wide host of features that Core Director simply didn’t offer, SilverLake’s approach is sufficiently different to warrant the switch. Nothing Lazy About Summer Here
SUMMER VEGETABLE GREEK SALAD
INGREDIENTS
For the vinaigrette: • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
For the salad: • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved • 1 small cucumber, seeded and chopped • 1 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled • Optional protein choices: 1 cup cooked chickpeas or 6 oz Genoa salami
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard • 1 garlic clove, minced • 1 tsp dried oregano • 1/2 tsp honey • 1/2 tsp salt • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, garlic, oregano, honey, and salt. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until well combined. 2. In a large serving bowl, toss together the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, parsley, olives, and feta (as well as the chickpeas or salami, if desired). 3. If you plan to serve all the salad at once, drizzle the dressing over the salad to lightly coat, then toss to combine. Otherwise, store the vinaigrette and salad separately, then dress each portion before serving.

technology’s better data- reporting capabilities, but what’s really thrilling are
the tools it offers brokers, including feedback on how their
portfolios are doing.
Speaking of brokers, our staff aren’t the only ones booked up for a few days this month: August 2021 sees the
return of our annual “Top Broker Weekend,” which happens right here in the state of Wyoming in the beautiful city of Jackson Hole — a top tourist destination. Each year, we book our top brokers into resorts, pay all their expenses, and take them on a few group activities, like a gondola ride to the top of the Grand Tetons with refreshments waiting up top. And then there are dinners out, live music, and a comedy show as well as plenty of personal time. Finally, we always end the weekend with brunch at Wort Hotel’s famous Silver Dollar Bar & Grill. If that sounds like a good time, maybe you can join us next year. It’s exclusive to a handful of our top brokers, but we have faith you could be on that list for the 2021–2022 year!
