Zuber Realty reaches out to the community
'We work for you!' is the motto of Richard A. Zuber Realty of Boyertown. The organization regularly participates in community events to celebrate and honor community members. Spring and early summer are especially busy times for the organization's community outreach efforts. Coming out of hibernation Community members enjoyed spinning the wheel to earn prizes during Building a Better Boyertown's (BaBB) festival that attracts thousands of visitors. 'The bear-themed stress ball that agent and associate broker Connie (Dolansky) discovered this year was a hit with the children and their families as they spun the wheel to earn one of their own,' owner Richard Zuber said. 'There were plenty of bubble wands, squishy toys or stuffed farm animals as alternate prizes. Everyone won something!' Mother's Day flowers Recently, agents and staff handed out flowers to mothers to celebrate Mother's Day. 'Our agency's motto 'We work for you!' is evidenced every day in all the things that mothers do and all the love they provide their families,' Zuber said. 'Mother's Day is a day to demonstrate our gratitude, and we love to do it with flowers!' Sips & Dips Wine Walk Participating in Berks-Mont Business Association's (BMBA) Sips & Dips Wine Walk is a fun time for Zuber staff to enjoy getting to know members of the community. 'Zuber Realty is known to serve the best snacks during Wine Walks,' Zuber said. 'We need to thank agent Vanessa Deskie for her culinary creativity; she earns these compliments. 'And agent Lee Heffner provides a nice assortment of wines for participants. We can count on him to make sure things are good to go for these events.' BMBA's Philadelphia Avenue Street Fair The Philadelphia Avenue Street Fair, which was held Saturday, is always fun for Zuber Realty's agents and staff. Folks look to add to their wardrobe during the event with the year's annual Zuber T shirt giveaway. Veterans' food drive Adding to the Philadelphia Street Fair event is a reminder about the agency's month-long annual veterans' food drive to replenish the nonprofit organization Veterans Making a Difference, headquartered at Veteran Social Center, 645 N. Sixth St., Reading, and dedicated to helping veterans in need in Berks County. Richard Zuber and Zuber Realty agents help volunteers from Veterans Making a Difference unload the Zuber bus packed full of donations providing non-perishable food items to assist Berks County's veterans in need. (Courtesy of Richard A. Zuber Realty) Non-perishables are collected throughout the month. A special collection day to stuff the Zuber bus will be held on June 21 at Boyertown's Redner's Market. Donations of cash, checks or gift cards will also be accepted and encouraged.
