Thank you Chris Morris (Alain Pinel REALTORS® - Los Gatos) for serving as auctioneer, Mary Kay Groth (Sereno Group - Los Gatos) and Diane Chandler (Alain Pinel REALTORS® - Los Gatos) for organizing the fun event, and Leslie Butlar for helping keep track of the winners. Kudos to Diane, who made many of the pumpkin centerpieces!
Many thanks for the contributions from the following companies: Keller Williams, Alain Pinel Realtors, Opes Advisors, Coldwell Banker, Intero Real Estate, Sereno Group, Montalvo Realty, and the individuals that donated the items and members who generously bid on them!
REALTORS® and affiliates of the Los Gatos/Saratoga District have supported Operation Reindeer for years. The program distributes gifts, including clothing essentials, to needy families and seniors in the community during the holiday season. The program is funded through proceeds from the District's annual Pumpkin Auction and individual donations from the REALTORS® and affiliates. In addition to monetary contributions, many members volunteer their time to shop, wrap and distribute presents and food certificates to families.
