LAR Save the Dates:

-August 13th – LAR Picnic at Micke Grove Park

-September 22th – LAR Golf Tournament at beautiful Woodbridge Golf and Country Club

In December of 2005, Sharon Rocha started the Laci & Conner Search and Rescue Fund. The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to law enforcement agencies and non-profit organizations involved in search and rescue. These agencies are encouraged to apply for financial assistance for training, equipment, search and rescue animals or any item that can help improve their search and rescue. The hope is that through providing this additional assistance, these agencies will be better equipped and therefore be more successful in their efforts to safely return missing persons to their loved ones.

To help benefit the fund, the Carol Sund/Carrington Foundation will be presenting a comedy event at the Gallo Center for the Performing Arts called Laughing for Laci, October 11, 2008 at 8pm. Laci was a young and vibrant woman who had a beautiful smile and whose laugh was described as “contagious.” Her family and friends find it only appropriate that we commemorate her memory with comedy. “Come for the cause, Stay for the laughs.”

Laughing for Laci will be a night filled with entertainment. The event will be hosted by Larry King, featuring Colin & Brad and Wendy Liebman. Ticket sales and sponsorships will go towards The Laci & Conner Search and Rescue Fund. There will be a VIP reception held from 6:30pm to 7:30.

If you are interested in sponsoring the event or purchasing tickets, see the attached flier for more information.

They met with over 4,000 Oakdale citizens to answer questions regarding buying and selling homes, market conditions and they even made some new friends along the way. Great job agents!

Congratulations Stacey Boyers on your recent election to the board of directors for Haven Women’s Center. It’s great to see our Real Estate Professionals active within our community.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this organization, the Haven Women’s Center of Stanislaus County is a catalyst for individual empowerment and societal change.  Haven promotes safety and healing for women and children that are impacted by domestic or sexual violence.  They offer counseling, legal services, support groups, case management and a shelter as well as a transition home for these women and their children.

The Haven Women’s center is also a non-profit organization that receives some grant funding from the United Way, however, it is often not enough to provide the care and support that these women need.

Throughout the year, the Haven Women’s Center hosts several events to help fill in the gaps.

April 26th, the center will be hosting their annual Garden Party at the home of Buz and Shareen Carnes at Del Rio River Nine. The festivities will begin at 4:00 p.m. and include appetizers, beverages and live and silent auctions.  For more information, contact Stacey or Terri Western (209) 548-4528.

Andrew Santana Fundraiser Flyer

Andrew Santana is a hopeful 14-year-old Freshman at Enoch’s High School in Modesto. He’s a great kid and loves life. However, he was recently diagnosed with Synovial Cell Sarcoma Cancer - a rare type of cancer that is found in only 1% of people in the United States. This is a highly-malignant cancer that arises in the connective tissues of the body, and often appears in young adults. Andrew has it in his calf muscle.

Currently, Andrew is undergoing treatment at UC, San Francisco. Because of his family’s limited resources, a special fund raiser dinner has been planned to help pay for his treatment. Even though his diagnosis is serious, Andrew’s spirits are up and he continues with a passion for music. With your help, he will be able to continue getting the treatment he needs and can look forward to someday being a successful music producer and entrepreneur.

Please consider helping Andrew today!
