Last Friday, June 15th, over three hundred Windermere Real Estate agents, brokers, owners and staff gathered at Camp Dart-Lo in Northwest Spokane Washington. Camp Dart-Lo is a camp offered by Camp Fire USA and covers approximately 51 acres of forested land. Our goal was to rebark several trails, road grading and graveling, sign repair/replacement, tree trimming and removal, carpentry work on tables and sheds, painting/staining/sealing of buildings, and construction of some new buildings. This was no small task nor an easy one but we succeeded!

With the help of several contractors, landscapers and other camp volunteers, we managed to revamp a majority of the complex just in time for the kids to return for the upcoming summer session of camps. While the work made for a long and grueling day, it was well worth the effort. Giving back to the local communities where we live and work has been a long standing tradition for Windermere Real Estate agents. Each year, I donate a day of my time to help out with Windermere's Community Service Day. This year was no exception as I arrived at Camp Dart-Lo at 7:30 a.m. and didn't leave until we had finished at about 6:30 p.m. It is a rejuvenating experience and I plan to continue to give back to my community each and every year.
