May 9 is RED DAY at Keller Williams. This is our annual day of service. It's an international effort and it's lots of fun! On this one day each year, agents in every Keller Williams market center fan out across their communities to volunteer their services. Our office has four activities planned. 
 
Here's what we'll be doing:
 
1. Cleaning the shelter run by A-SPAN (Arlington Street People's Assistance Network)  The shelter is closed for the season, but needs a deep cleaning. We also will be helping the staff prepare for their gala fund-raiser by stuffing goodie bags and anything else they need to be ready for their event.
 
2. Supply drive at Whole Foods. We will be collecting items for  A-SPAN. Whole Foods is a wonderful partner in this effort. We will have shopping lists to hand to shoppers as they arrive. We'll have baskets at the exit for them to drop the goods when they leave. 
3. Painting at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.      
 
4. Underwear and sock drive. We will have a box in our office for donations of new men's underwear and socks for A-SPAN. 
 
Red Day is a great reminder of why I feel so lucky to be part of Keller Williams!
Seving you in Maryland, DC and Virginia
