Friday, June 18, 2010 marks the 27th Annual Community Service Day for Windermere Real Estate. "Each year we close our offices for the day and all agents, owners, and staff go out and give back to our community. This year, our offices will be hosting an outdoor Community Service Fair at The Church at Rancho Bernardo to coincide with Windermere's national efforts", announced Mark Loscher, CEO of Windermere Exclusive Properties.

"I am proud of our agents and staff for their efforts supporting residents in need. As Windermere Real Estate continues to grow, we believe that we are 'Doing Well by Doing Good'" said Steve Rodgers, President of Windermere Exclusive Properties. "We have over 400 agents in our offices. If each agent donates a full day's work, then Windermere Real Estate will donate well over 3,000 hours of community service to deserving organizations."

Linda Schechner, Community Service Chair for Windermere San Diego, has been leading their planning for the past seven years. "The goal of Community Service Day is to provide support for those in need. This year's Fair will support The Red Cross blood bank; San Diego Blood Bank Bone Marrow Donor Registration; Packaging 20,000 Meals for Friends & Family Community Connection and the global effort fighting hunger; Leez PJ's 4 Kids; Rady Children's Hospital; Child ID Services; Food Drives for Interfaith Services in Escondido and the Community Resource Center in Encinitas; E-World electronic recycling and Shred-it; Helen Woodward Animal Center; Fabulous Bake Sale, DJ and more. We look forward to a huge turnout."

Each Windermere office will be collecting kids pajamas, coloring books and crayons, children's books, and non-perishable items such as tuna, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned chili, canned pasta meals, spaghetti sauce, dried pasta, macaroni & cheese and baby diapers sized at 3, 4 and 5.
