At Homes Realty Group Visits Floyd E. "Tut" Fann State Veterans Home

Floyd E. Fann State Veterans Home

@Homes Realty Group has a philosophy of giving back to the community.  Each year all @Homes agents are involved in several community events with the sole purpose of making a difference...making things better for the community.  Some of the events that we sponsor or volunteer time, money, lunches and breakfast to are: Make-A-Wish foundation, Lincoln Village, Huntsville Inner City Learning Center, Make A Difference Day, Huntsville Senior Senior Center, Casa, Christmas Charities year Round and yesterday's event at the Floyd E. "Tut" Fann Veterans Home.

We had scheduled a couple of hours of craft work, making Christmas decorations and wreaths.  Many of the Veterans got involved making decorations, some kept to themselves and most that we talked with seemed happy just to have someone to talk to.  Our agents got right to it as if a natural extension of who they are.

I wasn't there very long, but have a new found respect for friends I know who have had to care for or visit a loved one in a nursing home battling early dementia or Alzheimer's.  

Here are a few photos of our day at Floyd E. "Tut" Fann State Veterans Home.

These ladies are incrediblly caring and the gentllemen eyes lit up when they walked through the doors.

@Homes Realty Group Agents

If you are wondering where volunteering your time would be well spent then consider the Floyd E. "Tut" Fann State Veterans Home.  Make a difference in the lives of these men who served in the military and have made a difference in your life.  They are so appreciative just to have someone to talk with.  I don't think any of us left this day unchanged in some way.

Being the curious kind of guy I am I read your link about Mr. Tut, Nick. What a wonderful little piece about a vet who gave. I do not know if I could be brave and be involved in something like fighting in WW2. I am impressed by Mr. Tut and by the nice blog you wrote about your visit to the Floyd E. "Tut" Fann State Veterans Home.

Nick, giving back to the veterans and other noteable charities makes you feel the spirit of the season.   Our board visits the veterans hospital as well, and provides many smiles.

Nick, I know the challenge of dealing with elderly and dementia or Alzheimer's.  It tugs so hard on the heart ... it aches.  We cannot do enough for our Veterans.  It's so wonderful that you all do what you do and give back to the community.

Nick-That was a very heart-warming gesture. When seniors outlive their relatives it's got to be lonely for the survivors. You and your colleagues are providing a great service.

Although all agents in my office participate gladly in the many events that we sponsor or contribute to I have to give credit to our Broker Elizabeth Cooper-Golden. She is a very giving person, an outstanding knowledgeable Broker who would rather spend her time giving back to the community and let someone else sharing her vision of what a real estate brokerage should look like and how it should be run perform the day to day operations.
