Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped to activate the Ypsilanti Farmers Marketplace at Growing Hope's AAABoR Work Day on Thursday, May 18.
The Ann Arbor Area Board of REALTORS® organized a volunteer work day for Growing Hope and the Ypsilanti Farmers Marketplace. Growing Hope was awarded a placemaking grant from Michigan Realtors® and the Ann Arbor Area Board of REALTORS®. One of the grant requirements was that AAABoR members had the opportunity to volunteer with the project.
AAABoR REALTOR® and Affiliate members worked hard in the sun to help prepare a pathway to be painted from the street to the Marketplace doors, clean up debris and weed the marketplace gardens, insulate the Marketplace green house, and other tasks. These tasks were needed for preparation of the installation of lights, patio heaters, moveable and stackable tables and seating, installation of oversized lawn games and more.
Volunteers were: Michelle Armbruster of the Charles Reinhart Company, Tom Bullard of Huron Valley Financial, Tim Donner of Success Mortgage Partners, Todd Chamberlin of HSA Home Warranty, Jodie Franklin of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Snyder & Company, Realtors, Julie Gagne of RE/MAX Platinum, Ashley Gartrelle of Keller Williams Ann Arbor, Kerry Kafafian of Keller Williams Ann Arbor, Amanda Lawrence of John Adams Mortgage, Nancy Merdzinski, CEO of the Ann Arbor Area Board of REALTORS®, Destiny Moore of the Charles Reinhart Company, Dave Monforton of the Charles Reinhart Company, Kari Newman of the Charles Reinhart Company, Andy Piper of Keller Williams Saline, Kim Peoples of the Charles Reinhart Company, Donald Sanders of the Charles Reinhart Company, Cindy Sislo of the Charles Reinhart Company, and Diana Watches of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Snyder & Company, Realtors.
