Every 2 months the Rotary Club of West Springfield assists the Fairfax County Hospital System with a blood drive at the Pohick Regional Library in Springfield.
We set up in the lobby, answer questions and register donors. Over the past 3 decades I have sold a lot of real estate to and for people in Springfield. It is not unusual for me to hear a "Hi Karen", look up and see one of my clients entering or leaving the library. It is a great opportunity to visit informally and to have them see me participate in community service activities.
REALTORS® have a history of community service. My Rotary club is very active in Springfield, but we are not always in the public eye, e.g. when we read to hearing impaired children in a public school, host a Christmas shopping spree for underprivileged children or sponsor a dental clinic for indigent people. So when we work at the library I frequently have "close encounters" with clients. Just out of personal interest I checked the RE/MAX site today and was somewhat pleased to note that, of the 100,000 plus RE/MAX agents worldwide, 1,300 of them are fellow Rotarians.
Wonder why we only hold the blood drive every 2 months? You can only donate blood every 59 days
