RODEO REALTY STUDIO CITY AGENT & FORMER “PAN AM” FLIGHT ATTENDANT CHERYL ACREY, LANDS HER SMILE IN AWARD WINNING "SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE"
When Rodeo Realty Agent, Cheryl Acrey was notified that she was being featured in the Smithsonian magazine, she was uncertain of what to expect. Upon flipping open the pages she was surprised to see a younger photo of herself from her days as a Pan Am flight attendant. However, the text under the photo caught her eye, which was juxtaposing her smile to the famed Mona Lisa, or as the magazine summed it up, “ the fake Pan Am smile.” Luckily, Cheryl was not going to let the comparison make her feel bad about her previous profession, and was able to find a silver lining to it; Cheryl had this to say, “I now will be using the “Pan Am” smile reference as a marketing tool.” Getting your name out in our business is great, but being known by your smile, even better. Kudos to Cheryl Acrey and her “Pan Am” smile.

However, Kathy wanted a personal touch and went door-to-door within the 3-building office complex and personally met the business people in the area, and luckily 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. with signs and flags displayed on both Westlake Blvd and Thousand Oaks Blvd. Kathy estimated 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!
Calabasas Rodeo Realty Agent, Ioanna Kamar Raises $7,500 in Charitable Donations For “Comfort for Court Kids”
Calabasas Rodeo Realty agent, Ioanna Kamar held her annual fundraiser “Comfort for Court Kids” at her home in Bell Canyon. This year’s fundraiser was held on December 10th, 2015 and from the looks of the photos was a fabulous turnout; the event was able to bring in $7,500 in charity donations. Thank you to all the agents that showed up to make this cause a success! “Comfort For Court Kids” provides emotional support for children under the jurisdiction of the dependency court. The ‘Teddy Bear’ is the symbol for the charity, and has long been associated with assisting these children in feeling safe, secure and to once again form stable bonds with those around them. “Comfort for Court Kids” is a 501 (c)(3) publicly supported charity founded in 1992 by attorney L. Ernestine Fields. It was done so for the specific mission of helping abused and neglected children cope with their experiences in dependency court. Ioanna stated not only was there food, fun and festivities, but the turnout and success of the fundraiser helped to assist children under the supervision of the court. At this time of year it is a pivotal program, since many of these youths want/need the extra attention during this troubling time in their lives.

Carmen reports over 50 people donated toys to the cause, and their support is greatly appreciated. Prior to the event, Carmen encouraged participants to donate items like clothing and/or toys to help those in need this holiday season. ”I know, as a community, how fortunate we all are to live where we live, and live the life we do. I feel that by doing this, we can possibly make this holiday a bit better for those in need.” Last year, the inaugural drive generated an overwhelming amount of donations, but luckily the chilly weather did not stop those from coming out to support Carmen and his cause.

RODEO REALTY STUDIO CITY AGENT & FORMER "PAN AM" FLIGHT ATTENDANT CHERYL ACREY, LANDS HER SMILE IN AWARD WINNING SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE
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.
