High School Youth & Adult Volunteers from Seattle's
St Therese Parish are wrapping up this week in Eastern Washington. Each year fundraisers help send students/volunteers age 15 + to Habitat for Humanity work-camp in the Yakima Valley.

My brother and his wife; Jim & Lucita Valiere, their family, friends, and the St Therese community have helped organize fundraising events, work crew-construction volunteers and chaperones to participate each summer in a week-long workcamp in Yakima for the last 12 years. Jim's also contributed to the Habitat for Humanity building projects for the past 20 years and 2008 is no exception. This year their group included two recruits all the way from California.

Volunteers come from as far as Missouri to Yakima’s Habitat work-camps where they’re assigned assorted tasks working with builders and other volunteers to help construct new homes in partnership with families in need.

The Seafair Pirates have landed Seattle July 5th
on West Seattle's Alki Beach in traditional fashion to help kick off a month full of Seafair events and celebrations. 

Growing up in the Seattle area, Seafair is summer and it's been part of Northwest lifestyle for over 1/2 century. Each year between July and August, communities pack the summer calendar with loads of activities and entertainment extending far beyond the city limits.

Seafair mainstays in my earliest memory are the Lake City Grand Parade, the Torchlight Parade, Greenlakes’ Milk carton Derby, Seafair Royalty, Seafair Pirates, The US Navy Blue Angels Air Show and the Hydroplane Races on Lake Washington (in no particular order of occurrence or preference)

If the Puget Sound is on your itinerary this summer– you may be in for a treat!

a spin off from property biz cards for sellers...
Here's something your buyers can   
While buyers are busy packing and making moving arrangements....

You might boost your congratulatory show of appreciation and get in on the fun of helping to announce their new home and your services to their family and friends - it's personalized, inexpensive, and practical

Expand on “Just Moved” postcards - with a bite-size edition to broadcast the home, the move or the new address on a biz card: 

Enhance the staying power potential by fashioning a dozen or so into biz card size refrigerator magnets for your buyers to use in their new abode and to distribute among their sphere – help keep your name and services in view on a handy useable magnet!

Pre-cut, self adhesive, card size magnets - can be purchased at many office supply stores

with your card design - it's as easy as peel and stick



Design with a focus on the home, new homeowner(s) or something identifiable with them. Some ideas are to:

• Highlight the “New Address” 
• Splash some color with a photo of the property, family, garden, or something associated with the new homeowner
• Include your contact info via light branding  

I’ve had great feedback on biz card magnets using:

• A wedding photo of newlywed clients
• Photo of a blown glass piece created by an artistic client
• Family photo for first time homebuyers
• New home photo for move up buyers  

This is one you can have some fun with! 

 

Card magnet examples below: ok! maybe Champaign would be a better choice than “tootsies” for a refrigerator magnet but you get the idea :)
