April Is Fair Housing
Month! Celebrate
everyone’s right to homeownership this month by sharpening
your knowledge about equal opportunity laws. See a special
pullout page in the new issue of Currents, and visit
these online resources:
 Centex On the Shore Pet Parade Centex Homes On the Shore at a fun-filled
charity event on Saturday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to Noon at
its community of GlenRiddle in Berlin, Md. The event, designed
to show solidarity with 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 given free orange ASPCA
bracelets. Pet owners will also have 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!
