Realtor Care Day 2009

The 5th Annual Realtor Care Day took place on
June 10th. The focus was on Columbus Housing Project's North of Broadway Community (NoBo), located along N. 21st between Mt. Vernon Ave. & E. Long St. Area agents & affiliates spent the day creating a community green space garden & vegetable garden, fence removal/relocation & beautifying various homes in the area.
This was the 2nd year I have served on the CBR committee, and I am so impressed with the dedication of so many individuals who make this event possible. In particular, this year I would like to thank Janet Thiede who volunteered many hours of her time to make this dream a reality. It is very gratifying to be part of this program!

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!
