The 13th Annual REALTORS® Care Blanket Drive runs from November 26 to December 3, 2007. Last year REALTORS® from Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver collected over 3,300 bags of warm clothing and bedding and delivered them to over 30 local charities. Members take great pride in the fact that Blanket Drive contributions stay in the communities in which they are donated. Last year in Mission we collected 132 bags of clothing, blankets, etc. to go to the local charities, helping those in OUR community who needed it most. The importance of the Drive cannot be stressed enough. These are tough times for some individuals and families.What is most needed are warm and waterproof clothes - mostly for men, but also for women and children. So please donate any socks, shoes and boots, pants, jeans, sweaters, jackets, hats, toques, scarves, and gloves that you are able to do without ... because someone else can't do without them. Also much needed are blankets and tarps. Your donations will be very much appreciated and will be accepted at any Mission Real Estate office between Nov. 26 and December 3rd, 2007. If you have donations and are unable to make it to a local real estate office, please call me and I will be happy to come and pick them up from you.
