You're an ANGEL!
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK all of those that donated their time
and resources to Beautiful Homes Realty's Second Annual Salvation
Army Angel Tree Program. With your help, we were successful at
ensuring that 22 local underprivileged children received presents
under the tree during the 2009 holiday season.
It was joyous to witness our office filled with clothing, bikes, shoes and toys. On December 12th all the
presents were tagged and sent off to the parents of the children.
If you're interested in adopting an "angel" next year, send us an email with "Angel Tree" in the title, and
we'll notify you via email next holiday season.
