LOCAL REALTOR SANDRA MARCONI HAS TONS OF FUN WITH HER FAMILY.
This weekend Sandra, husband Dominic and daughter Gabriella Marconi walked communities to deliver shopping bags to fill The Houston Food Bank Pantry for the holidays. Sandra celebrates time she and her family spent together. "Gabriella will add this to their resume for College as community service. My youngest Grant Michael is just now learning what it means to serve". Sandra is a Real Estate Agent with the Keller Williams Houston West office under the leadership of team leader Tamara Mannen.
Thank you for your support. Keep up the good work.
FYI
One of the most disturbing and extraordinary aspects of life in this very wealthy country is the persistence of hunger. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that in 2006:
35.5 million people lived in households considered to be food insecure.
Of these 35.5 million, 22.9 million are adults (10.4 percent of all adults) and 12.6 million are children (17.2 percent of all children).
The number of people in the worst-off households increased to 11.1 from 10.8 in 2005. This increase in the number of people in the worst-off category is consistent with other studies and the Census Bureau poverty data, which show worsening conditions for the poorest Americans.

Why is everybody seeing RED???

Local REALTORS and neighborhoods are seeing RED

California has had it's wild fires. Texas had a visit from IKE this summer. But nothing has everybody buzzing like the Keller Williams Regional Food drive.

Chris and Judy Burno along with the agents of the Pearland market center are out in full force walking neighborhoods to fill the pantry of the Houston Food Bank. Tamara Mannen, team leader of the Highway 6 market center, has signed up agents to get out and touch their communities. This might be a small market center but they make up for it in KW Spirit.

I am so proud of our KW Family.

Keep checking for updates and let me know of your market center success stories.
