Since We Were Last Together

In a time when tough news is the news again each day, it's fantastic to realize that our collective situation "Is what it Is". It will improve and believe that it already is, albeit slowly.



But the Coldwell Banker West Shell Milford office, has seen some very positive things-in the roughest of times. We held our "Santa at the Movies" customer appreciation event. 290 clients and Family members attended. Clients filled huge the huge "Toys for Tots" bags the marines brought. Children had their pictures taken with Santa Clause (click on the "Success stories" link to read a great present Santa delivered). Everyone enjoyed the Movie "Madagascar2". We all enjoy these events; a chance to socialize with clients in a non-work environment, collect for Toys for Tots, and watch the children having fun.



After the "Santa at the Movies" , we went directly to our "Buck Event". The idea was more or less an experiment to see how many people we could get to donate $1 in 90 minutes to give to the Milford,Miami Ministries (which serves the Miami Twp. Milford School District area families in need). $668. was our donation. We find it amazing how much people are willing to help. It doesn't need to be a lot from a few-just a little from a lot. It seems some people are afraid their amount won't "fix" a problem, so they don't give at all. But if you combine a lot of small amounts together...you can "fix" anything.
We wish everyone a prosperous and happy New Year. Tell us your success stories so we can inspire others and look for opportunities to do good when you see the need.
