Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue!
Say "Thanks" to Soldiers,
Celebrate the Fourth of July,
Stuff the Bus with the Zuber Realty Amity Sales Team
Barbecues and fireworks mark the
typical Fourth of July celebration throughout the United
States and within our own communities to celebrate the birth
of our beloved country; but this year Zuber Realty agents
Kathie Webb, Beth Ashcom, and Shawn Haviland have planned a
special celebration to honor today's men and women in uniform
serving our country today.
The trio of agents known as the
Amity Sales Team are staging a special "Stuff the Bus" event at
Redner's Market in Douglassville, on Thursday, July 3, 2008,
from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. and collecting items requested by our
military including toothbrushes, band aids, writing tablets, and
flea collars.
"The list of items is quite long,"
explained Webb, "but we'll distribute the list to shoppers as
they enter the store to assist them. And, as always, our
soldiers are in desperate need of support and prayers."
Ashcom noted, "Given the chance, the
folks in our area are eager to demonstrate their patriotism by
donating what is needed. Our gratitude for the sacrifices which
allow us to enjoy a clean bed at night and the ease of adjusting
our A/C settings, for example, far exceeds our abilities to
express it on a daily basis."
Navy veteran Haviland will don his
uniform to mark the occasion. "We're offering a simple way to
serve our country; and we know an opportunity like this is often
welcomed. We at Zuber Realty are proud to help in this way."
Patriotic music is planned to rouse
the spirit and attract the shoppers. The agents sporting shirts
in the country's colors of red, white, and blue, along with a
pickup truck decorated in flags will serve to signal the drop
off point for donations which will then be shipped for
distribution.
The Zuber mini-bus, out of
commission for this event, offers a willing substitute in
Boyertown's "DaDa Trk" the proud carrier for the community's
Bear Fever bears. "Like all of us, from time to time, our mini
bus is in need of some repair," explained Rich Zuber, "and
Boyertown's infamous pickup responded to our call for
assistance!"
Items can also be dropped off at any
of the Zuber Realty offices during regular business hours
through July 15, 2008. Zuber Realty locations include in
Boyertown, 201 East Philadelphia Avenue; in Pottstown, 2117 East
High Street; in Morgantown, 3319 Main Street; in Royersford, 830
Chestnut Street; in Red Hill, 700 Main Street.

Webb, Ashcom and Haviland have
coordinated previous "Stuff the Bus" opportunities to stock
the area's food pantries serving needy families. All donated
food has benefited the Berks County Food Bank and has been
transported there via the Zuber Realty mini-bus, a vehicle
dedicated to assisting assorted community organizations and
events.
The Zuber Realty bus has been
utilized for transporting athletes associated with the Pine
Forge Athletic Association, participants in Boyertown's Arts and
Activities Alliance's series of fall trips to artists' studios,
homes and gardens.
The bus also appeared in this year's
Amity Gardens, Red Hill and Boyertown Halloween parades and
transported tourists during Boyertown's recent Holiday Open
House Tour. Community service, a hallmark of Zuber Realty
