Flea Market to Benefit Casa Rosa

La Puerta Real Estate sponsored a flea market on Saturday, 2/27 to benefit our local food bank, Casa Rosa. We are proud to say that we raised $1,000 for Casa Rosa. They needed to have some electrical work done on their building and Charlotte Lough, director of Casa Rosa, indicated that this money will go a long way towards accomplishing that. Thanks to everyone who participated in this very worthwhile event and thanks to the Placitas community for coming out in droves to buy. Not only did we make money for a worthwhile cause, but we ended up recycling stuff that might have ended up in our landfill. Giving back – it’s a good thing!

Ice Cream Social

On Saturday La Puerta Real Estate held an old-fashioned ice cream social to obtain food donations for Placitas’ local food bank–Casa Rosa. It was a typically beautiful Placitas day with white fluffy clouds, blue skies & that wonderful crisp smell that people associate with New Mexico. What can be better than getting together with friends & neighbors enjoying an ice cream cone or sundae on a warm 87 degree afternoon & helping those in need?

Without question, the top preferred ice cream flavors for Placitans are 1) coffee and 2) chocolate. Now I guessed that chocolate would have been a favorite, but coffee? That was a surprise!

In chatting with the Casa Rosa folks they said they recycle plastic water bottles & plastic shopping bags, those pesky plastics that seem to spontaneously reproduce. So now instead of feeling guilty, we can feel good about passing them on to Casa Rosa.
