I've bragged before about the wonderful generosity of Keller Williams agents and the amazing outlet, KW Cares, that gives that giving such special meaning in our company. I think I've even mentioned the monthly sales meeting that brings together both the Reno and Sparks Keller Williams offices for an opportunity to share information and successes. This week was a beautiful culmination of all of that.
Our meeting started by covering the usual topics. We discussed licensing, contracts, our upcoming Reno office move. Our vendor partners shared product information and extended invitations to holiday gatherings. And we had an auction for some fun items that you could purchase with play money, Bob's Bucks, earned from New American Mortgage. There were gas cards and massage certificates and chocolates for our bidding pleasure.
Before the auction kicked off a couple of agents gave a presentation about KW Cares...a public charity created to support Keller Williams Realty associates and their families with hardship as a result of a sudden emergency. Ed Davis shared that some years ago KW Cares very generously contributed to him after he experienced a medical emergency. He has taken up the cause and spearheads a lot of the fundraisers that we have. Today was no different.
Ed raised as many Bob's Bucks as he could and many agents donated their bucks to him as well. And then he raffled them off for actual cash to support an agent in need in the Reno office. Those bucks were raffled and then donated back to be raffled again. Hundreds upon hundreds of dollars were raised. While the raffle was taking place a collection jar went around the room and wallets opened. When all was said and done we had all given and were all the richer for it.
