Make a Difference Day Makes a Difference for Volunteers Too

When my Mom told me that I would have to volunteer this past Saturday (Oct. 22) for Make a Difference Day, I wasn’t exactly excited.  I play tennis at Ponte Vedra High School on most Saturdays and then hang out with my friends or go to Vilano or St. Augustine Beach.  But as a student at Pacetti Bay Middle School, I am required to do some community service so I figured I may as well get involved with Make a Difference Day.

We teamed up with Davidson Realty who does a lot of community service.  Last year they built wheelchair-friendly access ramps for homes.  This year they connected with the St. Johns Housing Partnership to paint one of 12 homes in need in the St. Augustine area.  We met up Saturday morning at 8:30 at a small house just off King Street in St. Augustine.  (more…)

Davidson Does Baskets & Blooms!

Posted by Kristen Calhoun in Community Involvement, Events

DSC04717Last night, the Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village hosted Baskets & Blooms, an annual tri-school fundraiser for Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School. In the three schools, each classroom donated a basket worth $100. Each school donated a basket worth $500. The PTO and PTSO collected donated items to raffle from Orlando all the way to Georgia.

DSC04705As a way to help the schools, Davidson Realty worked with a few of our World Golf Village businesses to put together a basket to be raffled at the event.  We named the basket “Spoil Me in WGV”. Honours Golf donated a foursome of golf at Slammer & Squire. Spa Laterra donated the Revitalization Spa package to pamper the winner with a pedicure, manicure and facial. If that wasn’t enough “spoiling”, our basket contained 4 IMAX tickets and 4 putting, Hall of Fame and Challenge Hole passes. The Village Chiropractic Center donated a one hour massage. Murray Bros Caddyshack gave a gift certificate, too. Davidson Realty donated Neighbhorhood of World Golf Village wine glasses and a tote bag. Thank you so much to the businesses that helped us raise money for the schools!

DSC04711Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson joined agents and staff for a chance to win one of the many fabulous baskets at the event. The baskets ranged from Disney and Universal passes, golf and spa packages, patio furniture worth $7,000, beach baskets, pamper me packages, bundle of joy packages, etc! Talk about one of the social events of the year; it was soooo much fun! Mostly women attended, but there were a few ladies that brought their men (probably to carry all their baskets to the car!) It was such a wonderful evening. The Renaissance did a great job hosting the event. The food and service were awesome. Several Nease High School students volunteered to be the “basket runners.” The PTO and PTSO did an amazing job at making this event such a success! Way to go Ladies!!!

If you missed Baskets & Blooms this year, make sure you make it to next years. The night was a 10 for sure!!!

iStock_000002644055XSmallWhether you were crying, cheering or doing a little of both when kids went back to school a couple of weeks ago, now’s your chance to cash in.  We want to see your Back to School shots. Was it Billy’s first day of Kindergarten at Mill Creek Elementary or Wards Creek Elementary? Jenna’s first day at Pacetti Bay Middle School, or Laura’s first day of 12th grade at Nease High School? Did your student have a scowl or a smile?  Was it an outfit or hairdo they will laugh about it 5 years? And exactly how loaded down was their backpack? Send in those keepsake Back to School photos and let us know which school they were off to.  Send in your photos to Peyton Davidson at pdavidson@davidsonrealtyinc.com by September 15th.  (We will not post names to protect privacy.) Voting will be from Sept. 16-22 – so tell your friends, family and neighbors to vote online for your little one and you could win a $100 Target Gift Card.  Which will come in handy when their lunch box, sweatshirt, backpack, one shoe, calculator and other assorted items disappear throughout the school year.
