Winning Video!

Posted on September 3, 2010
Not only did the RRHomes Softball team win the league championship this year but we also submitted a video to the Lake Oswego Parks and Rec contest about why we love L.O. and I am so excited to announce that our video took first place!  The contest was part of Lake Oswego's centennial celebration and at 1:00pm on 10/10/10 our video will be included in the time capsule that will be buried at Millennium Plaza Park.  Click on the image below to view our winning video!
 
 
 
 

Summer Coming to an End

Posted on September 2, 2010
Get out and enjoy this weather while it lasts.  I can't believe how quickly summer has gone by.  Fall is always a busy time for me in terms of real estate so I'm going to enjoy the end of summer!  There are still tons of outdoor activities to get out there and enjoy.

TONIGHT:

Every year the Oregon Symphony holds a free concert at Tom McCall Waterfront Park to start off their season.  The Youth Philharmonic starts at 5:00 and the Symphony at 6:00.  The weather is perfect to sit out there and enjoy the music.

There is also First Thursday in the Pearl and a Timbers game!

Keys For Kindness

Posted on July 28, 2010
Over the years I have collected a whole jar of keys that I have no idea to what or whom they belong.  Call it a side effect to being a realtor.  I've continued to collect them instead of throwing them away hoping that I would eventually find a use for them.  I'm happy to announce that I found a GREAT cause that supports Multiple Sclerosis by recycling keys.  www.keysforkindness.com 
 
I plan on sending off all my keys on Friday, August 13th and until then, I'll be holding a KEY DRIVE!  I will have a jar at the front desk of my office where anyone can come and drop off their old, useless keys.  If it is after hours, feel free to slip the keys under the front mat.
 
My Office Address:
4200 Mercantile Drive, Suite 700
Lake Oswego, OR 97035
 
Drop your keys off until August 13th!
