Realtors® do more than assist real property buyers and sellers - they are active members in the communities where they work. Many Realtors® volunteer their time to help a variety of local, national and international organizations.
The New Hampshire Assocation of Realtors® (NHAR) Good Neighbor Award program was established in 2003 to recognize the efforts of New Hampshire REALTORS® who make exceptional contributions to improve the quality of life in their communities. Eligible activities are not limited to real estate or housing issues and may include such things as youth mentoring and homelessness prevention.
I am pleased to announce that I have been selected the 2009 recipient of the NHAR Good Neighbor Award for my work with New England Pet Partners, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing people and pets together to enhance well-being and education with pet-assisted therapy.
Raising awareness about the benefits of interacting with other species is a lifelong passion for me. "I have always loved pets and understood their importance to the well-being of individuals and families. "My motto is, 'It takes a pet to make a house a home.'"
It is that very passion that has lead me to be a volunteer for NEPP, serving as a Board Advisor, mentoring at board meetings, raising awareness through the media, fundraising, accompanying the pet partner teams on visits and volunteering at functions such as NEPP's annual Pet Wellness Festival.
"I promote NEPP every opportunity I get." "Pets bring joy, healing, companionship and well-being to everyone they touch."
The winner receives:
- $1,000 donation in their name to their community charity
- Ceremony at the recipient's charity of choice - to be awarded at 2009 Pet Wellness Festival
- Coverage in their local media and on NHAR.com
- Prestigious crystal award
- Use of the Good Neighbors Awards logo on their Web site and promotional materials
- 5,000 Active Rain bonus points! A post on Active Rain
