From my family to yours. Happy Valentine's Day. Remember to show the ones that you love, your appreciation every day of the year. May love and joy be with you all.

The other day a friend called to see if we could meet for a cup of coffee. We decided to meet at a new Millis bakery, called Twists. I think this may be my new favorite coffee shop/ lunch place. I was never very fond of desserts, so I may not have gone into this wonderful new restaurant. Once inside I saw that there were so many foods to choose from. There were sandwiches, meatloaf, meatballs, salads and desserts.

I gabbed my coffee and sat by the huge window, that had light streaming in, boy was I happy.There were nice comfortable chairs by the window and the coffee was excellent. Once settled in, my friend told me how happy she was that this new place was here. She said "I can eat everything here and not worry about my Celiac disease". I could not believe that even the bread was gluten free. I had to try some food now, because I have many friends and family members with food allergies. the food was excellent!

I had to call all my friends with allergies. I was on the phone the minute that I arrived home to tell everyone of this very exciting new establishment. I can't wait to have them over and be able to offer them desserts that they do not have to worry about eating.

Please stop and visit TWISTS at Milliston Commons in Millis. Let's support them, so that they can continue to offer their wonderful foods to people with food allergies!

Re/Max Executive Realty Charitable Foundation Makes a Difference in a Young Girls Life.

Martin Luther King Day was going to be a day to sleep in and enjoy a well deserved day off for 25 year old Allie Wheeler. She did not plan on waking up to the fire alarms in her apartment. When she opened the front door to black smoke she quickly picked up her phone to call her roomate, who was shocked that she was still in the building. They thought that she had left for work. She was told that the front stair exit was filled with fire and she should try the back stairs. She was able to make it half way down the stairs and then passed out. Allie was fortunate that she called her roomate who told the firemen where she was. She was hepled out of the building and spent a few hours in the emergency room. She did not have any insurance and lost all her belongings.

RE/MAX Executive Realty Charitable Foundation was told of her situation and decided that they could help. A $500.00 Best Buy gift card was purchased for her. This will help with the purchase of a new computer, that she desperately needed for school. To say that she was appreciative is an understatement. Many of the Relators within RE/MAX Executive also searched their homes for items that may be of use to her.

The RE/MAX Executive Realty Charitable Foundation which was created just a few years ago has been busy in our local communities. Just in the last few months the foundation has provided a $500 gift card to a family and made a donation to a young woman who sadly lost her battle with cancer. Since its inception the Foundation has also provided rental assistance, a new roof for a family in need and helped to build a Habitat For Humanity House. Through requests from our agents or other individuals, the Foundations primary goal is to improve the lives of the families and individuals in the Foundation's general market area.

"Thank you so much for your help with the purchase of a new computer. As a college student, losing a laptop the I have used for 4+ years really affects my college life. I don't know what I would have done without the help"
