It's the Thanks and Giving Season
November 20, 2008
CENTURY 21 Lois Lauer Realty has been involved in giving back to the communities in which the company does business throughout its 32+ year history. Since the mid 1990s, $10 is put aside from each transaction to be used for the support of not-for-profit organizations. A committee of the agents decides how these funds will be spent. It is during mid November and throughout December that the giving accelerates. Individual agents and the company as a whole donate Thanksgiving food baskets to the Family Service Association. Each agent also receives the wish card of a child registered with the Children's Fund. If you were reading this blog last year, I posted pictures of the array of donated gifts to be given to these children.
This effort to make other folks happy does not cease just because it has been a tough real estate market. Our agents have much for which they can be thankful and the joy of giving is an important part of the company culture.
We are still accumulating items for Operation Gratitude. We have filled 3 boxes in the Orange Tree Lane office and equal amounts in Yucaipa and Moreno Valley. We are collecting pennies for the THINK (Teaching-Helping-Inspiring-Nurturing-Kids together) Program, an after school enrichment opportunity. If you want to participate, we would be happy to forward your donations.
This is a time to give thanks for your blessings, but the "giving" part of "Thanksgiving" can make you doubly blessed.
