Of course we all know that the temperatures across the nation have been steadily increasing. Tennessee has hit triple digits for the first time in over 10 years. At 101, the Heat Index was closer to 107. Can you say HOT?
I got an email from our local Board Office a couple of days ago titled, "Angels for Air," this is what it said:
While the temperature is rising outside so are many health issues for our community.
The Montgomery County's Housing and Community Development office has brought to our attention that there are many elderly and young children without the comfort of cool air.
This is where you come in.......
For only $10.00 you can make a difference in someone's life plus it is tax deductible.
Lowe's is partnering with our Public Relations Committee and the Board Office by offering window units for $125.00 each and the more we purchase the bigger the discount they will give us.
As of today's date we have 801 realtors in our membership - that is $8,010.00 if everyone would just give $10.00!!!!
Will you be an "Angel for Air"? All donations are to be made at the Board Office.
Let's go even one step further.................
How about a case of water or Gatorade to go along with your $10.00?
Let me leave you with this quote by Anne Frank.......
"No one has ever become poor by giving."
Clarksville Association of Realtors
How great is this? The community of Realtors coming together for a good cause. Today we received a follow up email from Carolyn Watson, the Vice Chair of Public Relations. This is what she had to say:
Subject: Air conditioning
We have given enough money to purchase 10 units. Two of these I have delivered to the homes. They were elderly, poor, and thrilled. Without this money many of the poor elderly and small children would have no air. The city housing and urban ministries think we are truly angels. Anyone who wants to help deliver these can let me know and I will take them along for the ride. Realtors, you have started a community effort like none I have been involved in in a long time.
Carolyn
I have to tell you it is times like these, when I am even more proud to call myself a Realtor. Have any others associations out there started a project like this? If not, I challenge them to start. In essence we may even save a few lives.
