RED (Renew, Energize and Donate) Day is a Keller Williams Realty service initiative dedicated to improving our local communities. All Keller Williams Realty associates in the United States and Canada were asked to donate their time on May 13, 2010 to renewing and energizing aspects of their local communities. Because of her constant commitment to the culture of our company, this day has been dedicated in honor of our Vice Chairman, Mo Anderson.

Your Support Is NeededYou can support Rebuilding Together every time you shop

Rebuilding Together Pasadena provided all of the paint, shovels, masks, brushes, etc. that made Keller Williams’ Red Day a success this year and last year. RTP is in desperate need of funds to continue its efforts in assisting the disabled and elderly. With our Red Day project, funds are still needed to provide concrete to be poured for Virginia’s ramp and for new handrails to be installed.

We are inviting you to support Rebuilding Together in a way that involves nothing from you but signing up one time with your Von's or Safeway Markets loyalty card to a program called "Escrip." This program tracks your grocery purchases thru your loyalty card and rebates a portion of your payment to Rebuilding Together....... These small amounts of money add up quickly and turn into real dollars which will allow us to better serve our elderly and disabled homeowners. 1. Go to www.escrip.com. 2. Click on “Sign Up – It’s Free” on the right side.3. Under Group Name type in “Rebuilding Together Pasadena” then click on “Search”4. Select the underlined “Rebuilding Together Pasadena” and click on “Next”5. Proceed to fill in your information and select the card you’ll be using “VONS”6. On the next pages it asks for your Vons Club acct # and any other debit/credit card numbers you may want to include (I used my

Vons Club # and my ATM #. The site is secure as you’ll see from the https:// at the top of the page.)7. Then finalize it with a password and you’re done. It’s THAT easy!!
