Tuesday May 31, Royal LePage Real Estate Services 2010 Award winners heard John Stanton, President of the highly successful Running Room, speak at the “By Invitation” lunch at the new Allstream building (formerly the Automotive Building as the CNE). His message is that we are always looking for a 3-Way win, where the Client (customer), Company, and Community all win.
He emphasized how Community involvement has really helped him build his company. This is true of Royal LePage as well- the best example being our involvement with women and children’s shelters through the Shelter Foundation. Yesterday, I sent a cheque for $3592.38 to the Shelter Foundation, proceeds from our Garage Sale. We split the proceeds with 75% to be for Interval House and 25% to be used for programs for violence prevention through education (treat the cause, not just the symptoms). Another cheque for $1700 was sent to Interval House, raised through automatic commission deductions by Bayview agents.
This coming Monday a graduation ceremony is being held for graduates of the BESS program at Interval House. It is program that helps retrain the women at the Shelter for employment, helping to them break free of financial dependence on an abusive partner. Catherine deVries will be attending. Together with RLP on Yonge and at 55 St. Clair, we have placed a congratulatory ad in the program for the evening.
Royal LePage Bayview realtors interact with the community in other ways too through sponsoring events- e.g. the Gardens of Leaside Tour on June 25 (Heaps Estrin team), a series of women’s runs (John MacEwen), family skates (Susan Gucci).
