Carlsbad-based associates of the Keller Williams Realty Carlsbad Market Center, took May 8 off, but it was hardly a day of leisure.
Instead, the associates gave back to their community by participating in RED Day, an annual day of service that Keller Williams created to allow its employees to renew, energize and donate to their communities and "Give Where They Live."
As part of the RED Day effort, Keller Williams Realty, Carlsbad spent six hours at Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad's Village Clubhouse at 115 Roosevelt St. helping to clean and paint the facility, as well as planting and preparing a fresh environment to help the children grow, learn and play.
The Lowe's store in Carlsbad was among the businesses that donated supplies and paint to the cause.
"RED Day is built on the belief that people can and should come together to achieve extraordinary things to help others," said Susan Johnson, a team leader with Keller Williams. "Last year, we helped to restore the beauty in the Leo Carrillo Ranch Park by planting, landscaping and refinishing picnic tables so our community can continue to enjoy this historical site. We can't tell you what an impact it made on each of us personally. We all know that filling all the gaps in our communities can't be accomplished by serving just once a year. RED Day just happens to be the one-day expression of the constant state of the Keller Williams culture. We see a need, discover who can meet it and get it done."
