Sharon Ruggiero celebrated 25 years

Submitted By: Maggie Flartey-Kaminski,CRB

 BLAKESLEE, PA : Sharon Ruggiero celebrated 25 years
with CENTURY 21. She was honored with a surprise party at the Blakeslee
office. Sharon started out as “OUR GAL FRIDAY” and did it all from front
desk, assigning leads, typing (ha ha) contracts and leases, bookkeeping and
receptionist. She recalls lugging in firewood to keep our woodstove going.
And she laughed about the “typing test” she had to take to get the job.
Sharon has been a loyal and hardworking employee over the years and there is
no way to truly thank her for all she does. Now she manages the accounting
for Blakeslee, Lake Harmony, Hazleton and Brodheadsville. Plus she is a
Super Relocation Director for our Relo Department for Select Group.

Sharon came on board when she was 18. We shared in celebrating her marriage
and birth of her two children Dylan and Cheyanne who are now 16 and 11. Boy
does time fly.

Congratulations to a great woman and a wonderful employee.

Brian McCardle, manager of the Hazleton branch stopped in to celebrate with
Sharon as they both started with the company around the same time. So we
gave him a little celebration too and crowned him.

A Very Special Hoilday Visit

Century 21 Select Group – Pocono Pines

We had a very Special visit from a very jolly ol’ friend and rental program home owner today!

During their travels through out our area today Mrs. Cindy Dautrich and Santa (Mr. Dautrich as a spot on St. Nick)) stopped by to wish us a very Merry Christmas and to drop off a little holiday cheer in the form of some excellent chocolate.

Mr. John “Jumper” & Mrs. Cindy Dautrich have a lovely and popular home here in Pocono Pines in the Lake Naomi Community that our office manages as a vacation rental property.  

As is the case with long time “Rental Owners” on our program we as agents and office staff become friends with ”Our Owners”. Many Home Owners stop by during the Holidays to wish us well, but never have we had one who has went to such lengths and enjoyed it so much!

Cindy explained to us that they were on their way to Pocono Medical Center so Santa could offer warm tidings and they thought we could use some red suited jollies as well.

Jumper loves to dress up as Santa during the Season and visit nursing homes and other community service providers in their “full time” town of Philadelphia but this year he especially wanted to visit  Thomas Jefferon Hospital in Philadelphia and Pocono Medical Center in Stroudsburg to give back to the two places responsible for him still being with us this Christmas.

After going out for a jog last January Jumper suffered a cardiac arrest on the road in Lake Naomi. Thanks to many passers by who stopped, Lake Naomi’s head of security and the staff of Pocono Medical and “Jeff” Jumper is able to continue his favorite holiday activity! 

We want to thank Cindy and Jumper for thinking of us and Thanks to everyone who helped when they were needed so that we got some warm and welcome hugs from Santa today!

For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home”

A Colorful Way to Say Thank You to our Troops

The Xerox Company has set up a non-profit website that lets visitors choose a Thank you card designed by middle school children from around the country and send that card to our Troops overseas. The website, http://www.LetsSayThanks.com allows you to choose a card then pick from a list of tailored “Thank yous’” or write your own message that will be printed and sent to an Armed Services member.  On the home page of the site you can also view message boards with notes from the Troops who have received a Thank You, pictures of live sign and mail events, messages of Thanks from celebrities, Messages of the Week and can gab a widget to post on your sites to let others know about this great opportunity!

It only takes a moment or two to complete the simple process, I sent one this morning and it took 2 minutes! Send your appreciation for all the sacrifice and service our Troops give on our behalf – Especially during the Holidays.

Editors Note: This site is legitimate and easy to use! For more information about the Lets Says Thanks program please visit http://letssaythanks.com/AboutUs.aspx

“Miller Time” is now “STRZELEC Time”

Filed under: Great Personalities — Tags: , , , , — katrina.christian @ 3:40 pm

Article by: Dale Strzelec – an Agent in our Lake Harmony Office

With a last name like mine, STRZELEC, it is a shock to see it any where in print or advertising. Most of the time I only see it on monthly bills or at the “Bottom of the Eye Chart” in the Doctors office, and then it is not always spelled right.

 You can imagine how shocked I was to learn that I am actually quite famous…in Poland!!!

Several years ago my kids started researching our family tree and one thing lead to another and we were all shocked to learn our roots can be traced back to a “Beer Brewery” that is still brewing Beer to this day.

 Well no more “Miller Lite” for me, I had to have a STRZELEC BEER. The search was on. My kids and I tried everything to get STRZELEC BEER with no luck. Years of writing the Brewery in Poland, contacting importers and searching collector clubs……no STRZELEC BEER.

 About a year ago I sold a home to a Polish couple who have been in America for about 15 years and asked them if they had ever heard of STRZELEC BEER. “Of Course” they said, “It was one of the biggest breweries in their country.” I told them that I had been trying to get some STRZELEC BEER for years with no luck and they just smiled and told me that they had not seen it since they left Poland.

What happened next was a shocker. I got a call from my Polish clients to come see their home and all of things that they have done to it. So I packed up the HEN…oops….Wife and off we went for a visit to their home. We walked in the front door and there on the table were 5 cans of STRZELEC BEER. We were floored. It seems that their sister was visiting from Poland and they thought enough of me to ask her to bring some STRZELEC BEER with her for their favorite Realtor.

 Some things you just can not put a price on. My clients thoughtfulness was hard to match with the STRZELEC BEER, my kids are already making plans for their STRZELEC BEER and everyone in our family is excited. Only got 5 cans that is all their sister was allowed to bring through customs. My kids will have to fend for themselves.
