Every June, 8,000 Windermere agents from across the West gather to give back time, talent and energy to their communities.
This year, Anacortes Windermere Real Estate agents gathered on June 20th at Island View Elementary School located on J Avenue, where we trimmed, raked, dug out dead plants, weeded and picked up litter…all in an effort to make the school landscape look great for the hardworking teachers, staff and students, as well as the neighborhood and community.
According to the Anacortes School District, budget cuts have seriously limited the amount of help they can hire to keep the grounds in shape, which made our project all the more worthwhile. Working at Island View turned out to be a rewarding community service project for all of us…being able to help keep one of the Anacortes’ communities’ greatest assets looking good is a true joy. A big thanks to Randy at Ace Hardware, who donated lovely mature plants to replace several that had been damaged or killed during this past winter’s snow and cold.
Community Service Day is something that our office and agents really look forward to each year. Closing our office for a day, and taking a closer look at our local community to identify areas were we can help our neighbors and friends, is a big part of who we are as a Windermere family.
