2015 Making Christmas Reality!

What happens when you get an organization in need and a group of energetic Realtors® together? You get "Making Christmas Reality"!!

Supportive Services for Veterans Families and RE/MAX South Shore came together to make Christmas a reality for 15 Veterans' Families, which included 34 kids between the ages of newborn to 17! All of this made possible through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

Below is the pictoral of how it came together! THANK YOU, RE/MAX South Shore Realty agents, their families and friends for making this possible! It was a grand effort and overwhelmingly successful!

The call to action!

The gathering of the gifts!

Toys, clothes, books, tablets and many other items took over the office!

Let the WRAPPING begin!!

Wrappers and participants...

Most of the wrapped gifts!

(The 4 bikes were elsewhere!)

Me, with all the gifts!

On Monday, December 21st, the SSVF representatives came to the office to pick up everything. It is a good thing they had a third vehicle! We were prepared to drive, as well! Somehow, it all made it into their vehicles.. and they were off! Smiles all around!

The LAST box making it out!

The Thank Yous!

Once again, thank you, so much, to the RE/MAX South Shore Realty family, their families and friends who, so generously donated their time, money and assistance, in making this a HUGE success!

THIS is what Christmas is all about!
