YAHOOO!!!!!!!!

Not only did we meet our goals but we exceeded them!

Prudential Varani Realty had a lofty goal to collect 6000 Coats this year during our 5th annual Coat drive. We worked real hard and a week before our deadline we were still behind.

No way could we allow ourselves to fail, there were too many people depending on us to help keep them warm and we know that the winters here in New Hampshire can be very cold....so the call went out and we pushed harder and harder.

I am soooo proud to tell you all that We collected 8621 Coats... Thank you all so much for your help and generous donations.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE... WHAT A TEAM
Thank you!!!

That's incredible. We don't have coat drives way down here. Just a question, are they new or used coats? Do corporations sponsor the even or is it private donations?

Chris...They were used coats all we asked that they were clean and in good condition. All were private! It was awesome. The final day of collections we saw hundreds of people dropping off coats...just warms your hearts!

Congratulations Monika - that is really amazing - you should feel really proud of yourself.

Our annual Holiday Walk benefitting the Heidi Hewes Woman's Cancer Association is this Sunday and I am so looking forward to it - I believe the goal this year is $15,000 (in only 3 hours).

It gives you such a warm and fuzzy when you meet and excell that goal.

Ines..Best wishes on your walk..I'm sure you'll meet your goal and then some!!!It definitely warms your heart when things like this happen and you see people pulling together.

Monika, we did a winter close drive at our Church last month. We didn't collect as many coats as you guys did, but we were able to supply a number of people with warm clothing.

Monika - we had the Holiday Walk last Sunday for the Heidi Hewes Chapter of the WCA and we made over $30,000! Wooo HOOOOO! You were right, there was such a great feeling of accomplishment, what a night! I was able to anticipate the great feeling because of your post - THANKS

George...That's great! Every little bit helps...especially at this time of year. This was our 5th year doing this and every year it grows larger. It has almost taken on a life of it's own.

Ines...What a great feeling!!! 30,000 is awesome!!! Congratulations!
