We Want to
Know About Your Volunteer Efforts!
Every year, CAR members volunteer thousands of
hours of their time to charitable causes. This year CAR will
again be recognizing everyone who has contributed to his or
her community in the summer issue of Currents. Now is
your time to shine—tell us what you did for your favorite
community, school, charity or non-profit organization by
completing a survey.
Everyone who completes the
survey will be recognized and will entered into a drawing to
win a $50 GAS CARD! And, any information will be used
to help CAR win another MAR C.A.R.E. Award!
Centex On
the Shore Pet Parade
Centex
Homes On the Shore at a fun-filled charity event on Saturday,

ASPCA Day this year, will be a Pet Parade. This will be an
opportunity for pet owners to bring their pets to GlenRiddle
for a “walk-a-thon” to raise money for the ASPCA. Centex Homes
will map out a 1.5 mile course throughout the community, and
complimentary refreshments will be provided. Participants are
invited to wear orange, the official ASPCA color, at the
GlenRiddle Pet Parade. All attending dogs, cats and other pets
will receive free orange ASPCA bandanas, and owners will be

the satisfaction of knowing that Centex On The Shore will
donate $10 to the ASPCA for each participating pet. And
remember, Centex offers REALTORS® referral
commissions!
