I thought it would be important to let all of you know what goes on behind the scenes at Channing Real Estate. When we're not involved in the business of real estate, some of us immerse ourselves in community endeavors. As an example, I offer you this press release:
WEICHERT, REALTORS® - CHANNING REAL ESTATE WORKS FOR IMPOVERISHED TEENS THROUGH YOUTH BUILD-JUST-A-START
Cambridge, Mass., February 29, 2008—WEICHERT, REALTORS® - Channing Real Estate has announced their collaboration with Youth Build-Just-A-Start, an organization that provides monthly food donations to impoverished teens. Channing’s associate, Nicole Bookwalter, heads up the program and recently involved her own two sons’ nursery school in the endeavor, creating a larger food donation. “The Thanksgiving meal was for 150 teens!” noted Bookwalter.YouthBuild is an alternative education, training and service program serving the greater Boston neighborhoods, providing education, counseling and leadership development activities. In addition, the youth spend time renovating affordable housing and various other community services.
Beacon Hill Nursery School believes that family involvement is an essential part of community activity in addition to high quality early childhood education. The partnerships between the three entities have proved of invaluable service to all participants.
