Happy Thanksgiving and thank you from the Black Rock Food Pantry. It is that time of year again when we pause, count our blessings and give thanks for what we have. During this time we also look outward and realize that there are many families that struggle each day to provide for their families the most basic of necessities. The volunteers at the Black Rock Food Pantry work throughout the year on a mission to seek out, help and feed families in need.
Over the last year we have had the privilege of serving over eight hundred families with an ever increasing demand. Last month alone we handed out a record 7,400 meals. Although we are proud of our accomplishments, we feel that we receive in personal satisfaction much more than we give. This holiday season we are most thankful for the community in which we live.
We have been helped by many local people and organizations, organizing such events as Soup Bowls for Hunger hosted by Private Parties, and the Pogey Concert by the Norden Club and Black Rock Community Council raising a whopping $6,000.00 for their neighbors that needed their help, these events along with many food drives and personal contributions led to our great success this year.We have truly been blessed with the ever growing list of volunteers.
It is humbling to be in the presence of this special group of people to watch as they minister to each other while ministering to our clients. Thank you all.We ask that throughout the year you continue to keep us in your thoughts, continue to drop off food, visit our web site www.BlackRockFoodPantry.com and make a small donation, sign up as a volunteer and help us to seek out those who may need a little extra help.Please help us to promote our pantry by passing this e-mail along to your friends and family. May God continue to bless us all.

Gail is the #1 listing agent in Black Rock & has been actively involved in this community for the past 30 years. Any agent can show you a home, but only a few have in-depth knowledge of a community.
I am the #1 real estate agent for the Black Rock section of Bridgeport, a sophisticated urban community with great natural beauty located along the Fairfield County shoreline in Connecticut. My in-depth knowledge of this community and its real estate provides me with the ability to give my clients the best possible representation in buying or selling properties in Black Rock. I work with both residential and investor clients on single family, multi-family, condominium, and co-operative properties. I am very active in my community and am the founder and publisher of the Black Rock Community Blog (www.blackrockonline.org) which provides residents with local news, information, links to other organizations, and a community calendar.
I love Black Rock and have lived here for 30 years. I am deeply involved in the community and try to give back as much as it has given me. I love my real estate career. I come in contact with people during very stressful, difficult times of transition in their lives and I see my role as relieving some of that stress by providing the most capable, professional real estate services that I am capable of. My strong work ethic and dedication to my clients is what sets me apart from many agents. Real estate is my full-time profession and is my focus. You'll get my attention on a daily and even hourly basis, if that is what's required. I'm here to help you through a potentially difficult time and act as your advocate and advisor. My approach to marketing properties is proactive and innovative. My track record in listing and selling properties in Black Rock is unparalleled. Allow me to show you the results of my marketing strategies.
Accomplishments
I have achieved the designation of Exceptional Properties Specialist awarded to agents experienced in selling high-end properties and am a member of the Chairman's Club, which means I am one of the top 10% of agents in terms of volume and sales in the company. I have also received the Customer Service Excellence Award based on testimonials from very satisfied clients.
Designations
I have the the REALTOR designation, which is attained by less than 50% of all real estate agents and I have achieved my GRI designation from the Graduate Realtor Institute which requires 12 days of intensive classroom work and is held by less than 20% of all REALTORS. I also obtained my e-PRO designation, which provides expertise in the use of Internet technology.
My husband, Bill Pinciaro, and I run Pinciaro & Robinson, a commercial and residential real estate business with the William Raveis Real Estate firm, which is located in Southport, Connecticut. Bill specializes in commercial real estate in Bridgeport and surrounding towns and cities.
Prior to my real estate career, I held internal and external consultancy positions with Fortune 500 companies, such as PepsiCo, Citigroup, Unilever, and Pfizer. I have a Ph.D. from Columbia University, which I obtained in 1990 in Organizational Psychology.
I am a community activist who has been involved with the Black Rock community for over 20 years as a founding member of the St. Mary's Block Watch, Black Rock Neighborhood Block Watch, and the Ash Creek Conservation Association, Inc. I remain active in protecting the Ash Creek tidal estuary as President of the Ash Creek Conservation Association, a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization.
I believe blogging is emerging as an important technological tool for community activists and that by combining my professional interests in real estate with my community interests in a community blog (www.blackrockonline.org) everyone can benefit. Blogging allows members of the community to participate online and community organizations to post events and information directly without an intermediary. This ensures that information will be refreshed and updated by its originators. It provides a resource for community members and an opportunity for the sponsor and community organizations to share their information.
I can be reached at (203) 521-0768. My e-mail address is gail5@optonline.net. Please contact me any time to discuss your real estate needs.
