REP GMAC COMMUNITY FUND BENEFITS AREA NEEDS
REDDING LIFESTYLES, SHASTA COUNTY
November 25th, 2008
For the past 10 years or so, all agents that work at Real Estate Professionals GMAC have directed a portion
of every sale commission to The Community Fund. Tens of thousands of dollars have been accumulated over the years and the agents periodically decide where to invest the funds in our community.
The first project funded by the fund was the Balancing Act bronze sculpture in Caldwell Park. A couple years later, our office funded the C.C. Bush bench and sculpture which continued the tradition of building an art walk in Caldwell Park. The Shasta Association of Realtors got involved with their own generous donation to help build a statue to Claude Caldwell, that is nearly finished and will be dedicated soon.
Last week the office discussed what future contributions should be 
considered. A subcommittee recommended several worthy causes. Since we are in the real estate business, we try to focus on things that assist in the basic needs of life-food and shelter.
I’m happy to say that two local food banks will be provided cash donations to help stock their shelves with food staples before the holidays. Four worthy recipient charities were placed on a ballot and voted upon by REP GMAC agents. The lucky winners of $500 each are: Redding Loaves and Fishes and Shasta Senior Nutrition Program.
Agents also decided to fund a perpetual scholarship for $1,000 through the Shasta Association of Realtors Scholarship Committee. These scholarships are awarded to Realtor members’ children attending junior college or universities.
Several other donations are being contemplated. Contact me, or any agent you know that works at Real Estate Professionals GMAC, if you have any suggestions.

Interesting conversation on the blog:) And I see that the blog was recognized
Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it
Satisfactory site, discriminative and easy on the eyes and great content too. I keenness I had your insight.
Definitely has to be the rockabilly elements. The coffee shop I do my morning writing in has a barista that is totally pulling the rockabilly style. Life imitating art or the other way around in this case.
