Give the Claus Team a Wave at Schertz 2013 Fourth of July Jubilee Parade!

Schertz is gearing up for its annual Fourth of July Jubilee Celebration and Parade, and the Claus Team will once again be marching as part of the parade! 

This year's parade theme is "Honoring our First Responders." Look for the Claus Team's "Real Estate Emergency? Call the Claus Team!" t-shirts on the day of the parade. We'll be passing out Dum-Dums to remind everyone that, "Smart Buyers and Sellers Choose the Claus Team!" 

The parade kicks off at Clemens High School at 9 a.m. on Thursday, July 4, but we'd like to invite you to stop by our office at 2901 Ashley Oak Drive, Suite 200 in Schertz between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesday or Wednesday, July 2-3 to pick up either a koozy or one of our fantastic red Claus Team Tervis cups. 

If we see you with our gear at the Jubilee, we'll register you to win a $50 gift card!

Questions? Call us at 210.566.6355! Want to know more about the parade, visit the City of Schertz Jubilee webpage. See you at the festival!

Lukemia Lymphoma Society 2013 Man of the Year Campaign Coming to a Close

Every spring the the San Antonio chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society participates in a ten-week national campaign to raise funds to help find cures for blood cancers. 

In San Antonio, the Man & Woman of the Year campaign includes individuals in the community who agree to utilize their leadership abilities and resources to conduct their own fundraising campaigns to help LLS fund blood cancer research and provide education and support services for patients and their families. The male and female candidates who raise the most funds during the campaign will be awarded the title of the chapter's Man & Woman of the Year. 

Candidates are judged solely on their success in raising money, each dollar counting as one vote. Their totals are then considered for the national title. Candidates run in honor of the Boy & Girl of the Year, who are local blood cancer patient survivors and sources of inspiration to others.

This year, the Claus Team has worked in partnership with Josh Sigman of Legacy Mutual Mortgage in his fundraising efforts, and today those weeks of work will come to an end. The LLS Man of the Year campaign ends at 11:59 p.m. on May 16, 2013. The final numbers will be announced in the coming weeks, but between now and then take a moment to watch THIS VIDEO about Josh's campaign, and keep in mind that donations are being taken until midnight.
