Hello KW Referred Family
Wanted to share with everyone what an extraordinary day we had last Thursday. . . . see the picture, and we’ll be posting more around the office!
On May 14th about 30 agents from our office participated in celebrating RED (Renew-Energise-Donate) Day, a day honouring Mo Anderson where agents throughout Canada and the US were encouraged to organise activities with the focus being “giving where you live”. Our office used the proceeds of the giant Charity Yard Sale that we held on May 9th to buy food and go on a” Hunger Run” , where we drove to parts of the inner City and handed out food to the hungry; in all we fed over 500 people!
The ENERGY was electric; it truly is amazing the effect that giving has on YOU. Everyone who participated was RENEWED by the experience, and we are all committed to DONATING on a regular basis.
It was wonderful seeing everyone coming together for a worthwhile cause. Some were at the office at 6:30 making sandwiches, others drove the vans and the rest hit the streets handing out food and connecting with the people. We heard so many moving stories, and one group met “Joe”, a wonderful retiree who is committing his life to making a difference in the homeless community by getting regular donations for food in several shelters and providing a source of support to people in need. Meeting Joe was very inspirational and has us thinking, what can we do on an on-going basis?
We realized more than anything that we are all blessed beyond measure and that giving and helping is not a one day event, but something we want and need to do regularly. Through the KW Cares Committee we have an opportunity to make a difference. The committee is currently reviewing causes/charitable organizations that our office can support. Although we have several options, we are open to any you would like to table, so please forward any information to Florence Bortoluzzi at fb01@rogers.com.
We are over 100 agents strong and together we can make a difference!
In closing, we would like to thank ALL the people that participated and shared in the experience. A special thank you to Glenn McQueenie who generously thanked the volunteers with lunch that day.
Lastly, for those who missed it, there will be many more opportunities and we encourage you to open your calendars and your hearts and experience a miracle.
Your KW Cares Committee
