Kathy Smiley’s Westlake Village Rodeo Realty Big Brothers, Big Sisters “BIG STUFF” Holiday Event was a great success! Kathy sent out 350 postcards to her farm and sphere; placed a notice on the front page of the Acorn real estate section; posted on facebook and sent ecards! Kathy went door-to-door within the 3-building complex and personally met many of the business people in the area. Many of them brought donations.The two day event started Friday, Dec 11 and ended Saturday Dec 12 at 3:00 PM. The truck was positioned in the Rodeo Realty parking lot at 100 N. Westlake Blvd. Signs and flags were displayed on both Westlake Blvd and Thousand Oaks Blvd.  Kathy estimates the value of the donation portion to Big Brothers Big Sisters to be around $750 – not bad for the first annual Westlake Village Rodeo Realty BBBS event! Congrats Kathy on a great turnout!

 

 

Cheryl Acrey, Studio City agent and former “Pan Am” flight attendant was astounded to see that her photo was being used as an example for her smile. The article on the psychology of smiling discussed different smiles of communication, and Acrey’s smile was noted as the “Fake Pan Am” smile.”  Ironically, this is the same smile Cheryl was born with.  The article pointed out that you will seem more trustworthy and have credibility if you simply smile more.  What could be easier than that?  Although the article was stating, “Is it the “Fake PAN AM smile” that will conquer the business world or the grimace of the Mona Lisa, Acrey states,”HER smile will now be her marketing tool! With article in hand and the “Pan Am” smile on her face, Cheryl is getting her name out in the real estate business one smile at a time.”  Kudos to Cheryl Acrey and her “Pan Am” smile.

Ioanna sends a big thank you to all that attended.

 

 

On Sunday, December 13, 2015 Westlake Realtor Carmen Mormino of Rodeo Realty held his 2nd annual holiday toy drive in Westlake Village.  Mormino had this to say. “We as a community are so fortunate, and during this holiday season it is important to reach out and help others.”  Over 50 people arrived with toys in hand. The rainy weather did not stop the crowd, thanks to the yummy donuts and coffee courtesy of the Mormino family.  Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) will be one of the recipients of the toy drop off, along with local shelters.  A spokesperson at CHLA had this to say upon hearing of the toys being dropped off.  “Donations like this help bring smiles and hope to our children during the holidays.”  Thank you for all that showed up and gave from the heart.  What a wonderful way to celebrate the season!

For over 8 years the Northridge RODEO office, has been involved with Hathaway-Sycamores Adopt-A-Family program.

This year 3 families have been adopted by the Northridge Office. This charity drive will provide each family a Christmas tree, lights, decorations, holiday meal and gifts for each of the family members. Clothing and Household items are graciously needed.

Teresa stated, “One of the families did not have bedroom furniture”. One of our LA Mortgage reps heard of this and donated a ‘near new’ Trundle bed for the family! Wonderful!

Cultivating hope and resilience to enrich the well-being of children, adults, families and communities is so important year round. But at the Holiday Season is a Blessing that will stay with these families for months to come!
