October 27, 2007 is "Make a Difference Day" in Loudoun County. It is an annual event that takes place nationally on the fourth Saturday of every October. It is a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors. Loudoun Volunteer Services (LVS) is looking for volunteers who can help collect or donate household items for distribution during the holidays, through the Community Holiday Coalition project. You can read more about this event here.
One of the things I love most about living in Loudoun is the strong sense of community. Events like this exemplify how everyone can contribute in their own little way to help others in need.
Our office is also involved in a similar worthy cause called "Operation Pinecone". This organization was founded by Mary Hacker of South Riding, and is dedicated to supporting our troops by collecting and distributing necessities and gifts on a year-round basis. Our office in Purcellville is a designated Western Loudoun Drop Site. You can read more about how you can join us in helping our troops here.
I encourage you to participate in projects similar to these. Aside from helping the community, it can be very fulfilling to share your blessings to people who need them the most.
Even with our respective professions, we can make it a goal to help others. It can be a motivation to excel in our work. In fact, those who are passionate and can find self-fulfillment in their work are oftentimes more successful than those who are not. Showing your clients that you genuinely care for them is a much better means of getting their business, than any other marketing tool.
As a Realtor, I always aim to use my skills and knowledge in real estate to help my clients and others in need. I find it very rewarding to be a part of their real estate success, whether they are buying their dream home or selling one to pursue their dreams. It is one of the reasons why I enjoy my job so much!
See you soon,
Sherry
