St. Thomas REALTORS® turned out in force to man Salvation Army Christmas Kettles at their local Walmart, collecting $1,210.91 over a two day period (December 4 and 5, 2014).
“LSTAR has been organizing REALTOR® Day Kettle Drives in London for four years now,” says Jim Holody, President of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR). “We’re very pleased to see our St. Thomas Members come out in such numbers to support their own Kettle Drive.”
“Christmas is a time of joy and thanksgiving,” says Earl Taylor, LSTAR’s St. Thomas Director, himself a participant in the drive. “But it’s also a time to be mindful that not everybody in our community has a roof over their head or enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear…that there are children who can only dream of having a toy of their own. REALTORS® know that and that’s why we are proud to support the Salvation Army at this time of the year.”
The London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® exists to provide their REALTOR® Members with the support and tools they need to succeed in their profession and adheres to a Quality of Life philosophy, supporting growth that fosters economic vitality, provides housing opportunities, respects the environment and builds good communities and safe neighbourhoods and is a proud participant in the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation’s Every REALTOR® Campaign.
