In one the local papers that reaches residents in the Gainesville, Haymarket, Bristow and Manassas areas I have been using part of my advertising to make the community aware of either events going on in the community, or bringing awareness to different fund raisers that are occurring and need the community's support.
The last few months I have asked people to drop off supplies that are needed by the soldiers in Iraq and I am so happy because it has paid off. Several people have dropped off supplies such as toiletries and snack foods to both drop off locations. The Weichert Office in Gainesville Virginia and The Kitchen Connection in Manassas (my husband's business).
One mom, I wish had left her contact information left some things from her boy scout troop and I wish I could thank her in person. Not only for bringing the supplies and helping with this cause but also for doing what she is doing for these boys in that troop. Every time we take the time to give, and we involve our children we are making a difference in their life and how they see the world.
A Huge THANK YOU to ALL of the people that called me to pick up their donations and all of those that dropped their donations off. Thank you so much!
So, I have not had any calls from anyone looking to buy a house or sell their house from these ads, but I am not giving up on the ads just yet 
Not only because I know that advertising is one of those things we have to do long term for the payoff, but more so because I am more than thrilled that I have been able to do a small part in helping a worthy cause.
A few boxes were delivered to the soldiers last week and reports state that everything was greatly appreciated More boxes are being prepared to be sent before Christmas. I know those packages of kleenex and playing cards, or phone cards help to put smiles on their faces.
That is better than selling a house.
However, I am still available to help you buy or sell a home in the prince william county area, so please do not hesitate to call me.
