Recycle Your Holiday Cards For A Great Cause

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Kirby Realty Company

Kirby Realty has always been a charitable company and we continue to look for new ways to help others and promote a "greener planet". We think this is a great way to do both. You can recycle your holiday cards and help out a great cause at the same time. The kids at St. Jude’s Ranch will take your used cards and make new ones to sell for next year. According to their website  http://www.stjudesranch.org/help_card.php “The children participate in making the new recycled cards by removing the front and attaching a new back made with recycled paper. The new card is a beautiful, “green” card made by the children and volunteers. The benefits are two-fold: customers receive “green” holiday cards for use and the children receive payment for their work and learn the benefits and importance of “going green”. This is a great way to help out some needy kids, and also to go green for next years holiday cards. St. Jude’s Ranch will be accepting cards until February 28, they can be sent to St. Jude’s Ranch for Children; Card Recycling Program;  100 St. Jude’s Street; Boulder City, Nevada 89005. You can also bring your cards in to our office at 418 South Main Street, Salisbury, NC before February 20th 2009 and we will send them in for you.

About St. Jude’s Ranch: St. Jude’s Ranch for Children rescues abused, abandoned and neglected children of all races and faiths from the vicious cycle of child abuse. We provide healing and nurturing in a safe home-like environment where children can learn life skills to start new lives with new chances, new choices and new hope.

Happy New Year and welcome to Active Rain Jeff... Congratulations on getting in the game. We joined AR primarily for the outside blog feature. It has helped us get better placement on Google searches within neighborhoods…(Localism is a great tool, make sure to check it out)…..A side benefit of AR, is seeing what agents around the country are doing to build their businesses. A good way the best ways to use AR is to read the blogs of the AR staff and the “ambassadors”. We look forward to reading your work on AR, Best wishes, Peace, and Success in the New Year,
