RE: REALTORS® Relief Foundation - Help Those Affected by Hurricane Sandy

REALTOR
My fellow REALTOR®,
I am contacting you today with an urgent request. As REALTORS®, we help build and maintain communities. We aren’t just there when the time comes to buy or sell a home. We are there during periods of need as well. Now – in the wake of Hurricane Sandy – is one of those occasions.
It will take more time to know the full impact of Hurricane Sandy, but the devastation in the mid-Atlantic is widespread. I personally have contacted the state associations in New York, New Jersey, and all the affected areas. At this point, we know that more than 8.2 million homes and businesses lost power in the United States because of Sandy, and there is a significant loss of life attributed to this deadly storm.
For more than 11 years, the REALTORS® Relief Foundation has been dedicated to providing housing-related assistance to victims of disasters. Without a doubt, there are many, many families out there who need our help now. If you can spare even a small amount, now is the time to make that commitment! A little bit can go a long way when we all give.
So please, follow your heart and reach out a helping hand to those in need.
Make a donation today.
The foundation will work with state associations in affected areas to distribute funds as quickly as possible to those in need within the REALTOR® family and within the community at large. Keep in mind that 100 percent of the money you give to the foundation goes to help the victims of this storm; NAR covers all the administrative costs of the fund. Every penny you give goes to those in need.
Please give what you can. I’ll provide more details on our relief efforts in tomorrow’s NAR Weekly Report.

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT WE ARE THE HEART OF THE DEAL!

Sincerely,

Moe Veissi

2012 NAR President

REALTORS® are the Heart of the Deal

P.S. Let’s show our REALTOR® compassion for those most affected by Hurricane Sandy. Please make a contribution to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation today.

Building a home for Lindsey SUHBA Care

ERA Helping Out Around The Community


The Southern Utah Home Builders Association recently announced the start of its 2012 Home Builders Care service project. During the next few months, SUHBA will construct a 1,560 square-foot home equipped with handicapped-accessible features for a St. George resident with special needs.
Called by her grandfather, “Sweet Lindsey,” she is a 20-year-old art student at Dixie State College who has been unable to use her hands or legs since birth. Her Grandfather, Glen Martin, has been saving for years to purchase a home with accommodations for Lindsey’s special needs. Now struggling with bone cancer, Martin approached SUHBA to help make his wish for Lindsey come true.
Here are some of our agents that volunteered to help landscape Lindsey's home. We have a lot of great agents that enjoy helping out around the community.

Please come join us and the Southern Utah Home Builders Association for the ribbon cutting of the 2012 Home Builders Care Project, Building a Home for Lindsey on Thursday, October 25th, 2012 at 3:00 pm.
