MONTHLY UPDATE ON NEWS AND EVENTS AT KW CANADA

KW Canada RED Day 2011

Your RED Day Representatives Coast To Coast...

After an amazing time at Family Reunion, all of our RED Day Representatives

are gearing up for the best ever RED Day 2011! Committee's are being formed,

ideas are flowing and the passion is driving our committee's across Canada to

make an impact this year! Those who were able to attend "Rock Your RED

Day" at Family Reunion got some great ideas on preparing for this once a year

event of giving back. At the Culture Summit we were challenged by the TL of

Whitby/Oshawa, Todd Skinner to start thinking about 52 weeks of RED Day and

what that would look like in our Communities. I'm passionate as your Canadian

RED Day Representative to help your RED Day committee and Market Center

make this the best RED Day Canada has ever seen and top 2010!

Newmarket based, “Inn From The Cold”, re-cently recognized KW Newmarket, for their donations and support of over $2500.00.

The shelter is able to operate each Friday night with donations such as these and can provide up to 140 meals, provide shoes, boots and clothing as well as provide assistance to find housing and jobs.

We thank our Newmarket MC for this simple and kind act of good faith to reach out to our community members whom are less fortunate.

Newmarket Inn From The Cold’s motto is simple; “When we all contribute a little, we can together accomplish a lot”.

Thank you Newmarket!

Our Halifax MC rallied into action to aid fellow realtor Matthew Eager and his family in a time of need.

Leadership organized a food drive and donations for the Eager family. Our Halifax MC raised over $1,100 and collected boxes of home cooked meals which was delivered to their home. The Eager family expressed their deepest thanks for the generosity shown. Matthew response referred to a “common bond, simply because we are Keller Williams agents”.

The Eager family’s intends to open an "Alexis Memorial Fund from donations such as these, to help families who cannot afford a nights stay at the Ronald MacDonald House or Hot Meal when unexpectedly taken to the IWK with a sick child or early birth”.

Thank you Halifax!
