Komen for the Cure. The 26-foot cold air will be displayed at the office on Saturday, August 7th to help guide the 300 participants along the first day’s ride while providing brand exposure in the area. For more information visit  www.breastcancerride.org.

Over in Wisconsin, the crew will be busy gaining brand exposure at these events.

Agent Success Story – Jeff Schulz

by Keri Henke on August 5, 2010

Jeff Schulz, with RE/MAX Action West in Chanhassen, MN, is reeling in opportunities through his involvement with the Waconia Lions. 

Jeff is the Chair of the annual Take a Kid Fishing event, which the Waconia Lions has sponsored for the last 18 years.  More than 40 kids, ages six to sixteen, participated in this year’s event, which took place last weekend on Lake Waconia.  They enjoyed breakfast, a morning of fishing, an afternoon of learning how to clean fish, and followed it up with a fish fry lunch.  Each child took home a fishing rod, ice fishing rod and some tackle. 

Jeff says he got involved with the Lions and, more specifically the Take a Kid Fishing event, because it provides a great opportunity to give back to the community and make a difference in the life of a kid.  “This was a new opportunity for these kids and they had such a great day.  I am very passionate about fishing and hunting and think it’s really important to show kids how much fun they can have outdoors.”

Although it wasn’t intended, Jeff says the lines do cross from volunteering to business venture.  “It’s natural  for community members, or other volunteers, to come up to me at other Lions events and ask about the housing market or certain properties.  I’ve definitely made some business connections with my involvement.”

So, what’s Jeff’s next Lions event?  Working the Brat Stand at the Carver County Fair! Join the fun: August 11-15th

For more information about Jeff and his involvement with the Waconia Lions, or his RE/MAX real estate business, visit www.JeffSchulzTeam.com or call (612) 709-4737.

With the weather hot and humid all accross Minnesota and Wisconsin, today is the PERFECT day for a yummy Dairy Queen treat. I know you do not need a reason to go and buy a Blizzard but here’s why you should do it today! For every Blizzard sold today, Dairy Queen will donate a portion to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
