Team Olsewski and 80,000 Keller Williams Agents ……… take the day off.

5th Annual “RED Day” Agents Lend a Hand in Murrieta,  Keller Williams Realty Temecula was part of the community service initiative in the US and Canada   

Temecula   May 09 2013 – Tom Olsewski, and Team Olsewski along with 120 Keller Williams Realty associates in Temecula have taken the day off on Thursday, May 09, 2013, but it will hardly be a day of rest. Tom, his team along with 120 local Temecula agents and over 80,000 associates across the United States and Canada will spend their day off by giving back as part of the company’s community service initiative, RED Day.   

Short for “Renew, Energize and Donate,” RED Day was created to unite Keller Williams Realty offices and associates in an international day of service. During  RED Day 2012, over 75,000 Keller Williams associates participated in activities ranging from food and blood drives to cleaning up trash in public parks, doing yard work for neighbors in need or revamping gardens at nursing homes. Last year on RED Day, the company donated over 150,000 hours.   

As part of the RED Day effort, the Temecula Market Center has chosen to spend the day with The Oak Grove Center in Murrieta.  What is the Oak Grove Center for Education Treatment & the Arts? The Oak Grove Center serves children and adolescents, ages 9 – 18 in the Residential Program and ages 5 – 22 in the Day Program and School, who are experiencing social, emotional and behavioral disorders, neurological problems, medical problems with behavioral difficulties, family dysfunction and/or chemical dependency. The school serves students with a wide range of needs. Students meet eligibility criteria including emotional disturbance, autism, other developmental disabilities and learning disabilities.

What was done at Oak Grove Center on Red Day?
 

“We are ready to paint Oak Grove in Murrieta red!  We are excited to be a part of RED Day and continue important company tradition of giving,” said Team Leader Brian Freeman.  “Last year, we ran a food drive helping a local food bank.  We can’t tell you what an impact it made on each of us personally-it felt so great to give back to the community we know and love.”

Team Olsewski along with other Keller Williams Realty Temecula  agents completed many tasks on the campus which included painting hallways/dorm rooms, cleaning windows, gardening, and washing cars.  Team Olsewski was assigned the task of repainting one of the dorm rooms. Painting the dorm rooms gives the children and adolescents a fresh new look as well as helps with their treatment.   

Along with all the tasks being completed everyone still was able to make it out during lunch to a barbeque with help from both the Oak Grove Center and Keller Williams. Agents got to interact with some of the children as well as participate in relays, and other events.   For more information about RED Day visitwww.kw.com/redday.
