Weekly safety tips as provided by SPAAR and its members
|
|
SPAARky says:
Be safety partners with your clients. Let your clients who are selling know that you'll take all safety precautions to check and lock their home before leaving their property, but suggest that they, too, do a walk through to double check locks and make sure things are as they should be upon their return.
SPAAR members have shared some great tips, too, including:
"In the land of snow and cold, choose safety over style and dress for the weather. Be sure to have a safety kit in your car that includes a blanket, jumper cables, flashlight, batteries, energy bars, for starters. Be safe not sorry!"

Blue Star Mothers annual collection drive is underway. Learn how you can be a part of it!
|
The Blue Star Mothers Collection Drive is a SPAAR tradition orchestrated by the Community Engagement Committee. SPAAR members collect small items (snacks, magazines, toiletries, playing cards, colored pencils, sketch pads, etc.) for "We Care" packages sent to troops serving in active duty. The nonprofit, Blue Star Mothers, assembles the items in "We Care" packages and ships them. SPAAR's Community Engagement Committee has partnered with Blue Star Mothers for five years.
Consider a decorated box to be placed in your office waiting area, meeting room or staff lounge. This is a great way to show office visitors your team is involved in the community and remembering those serving in the military. SPAAR will be collecting items for "We Care" baskets now through March 31, 2019. Learn more here.
