REALTOR© CARE DAY


The second annual Realtor© Care Day took place on June 5th and was a terrific success. I worked on the Columbus Board's Committee to oversee the project and witnessed a great collaborative effort on the part of many to make the day a success. This year the CBR partnered with the Columbus Housing Partnership to enhance the Tray Lee Community Center, part of the American Addition community at Joyce & Sigsbee Roads.

The Tray Lee Community Center was raised up by Reverend Traylor and four dedicated women who wanted to provide an after school center for area children. A mural has been designed in their honor by Columbus artist, Greg Cantwell, depicting their faces and the faces of many important historical figures. It is a lasting tribute to the people whose contribution continues to enhance the lives of others.

Local area Realtors© took on projects closer to their home base. Here in Upper Arlington, Realtors© worked at the corner of Northam & Camden to assist a homeowner who was unable to care for the increasing overgrowth of bushes, weeds, etc. It was a great day to give back to the communities in which we live and work!
