Memorial Day in Orange County is more than just barbecues and parades. It's a time to honor our heroes and come together as a community. ???? I remember last year, helping a retired couple downsize to a home that perfectly fit their new lifestyle. During our conversation, they shared their excitement about the local Memorial Day celebrations. It reminded me how deeply we are all connected by our history and our shared values. For many of us, especially baby boomers and retirees, moving can feel like a daunting task. But it's also an opportunity to create new traditions and embrace the vibrant culture of Orange County. Here are a few ways you can make the most of Memorial Day while transitioning to a new home: ? Attend local parades and events: Join the community in honoring our veterans. It's a great way to meet neighbors and feel a sense of belonging. ? Organize a barbecue: Invite your new neighbors over. Nothing breaks the ice like sharing stories over good food. ? Visit local landmarks: Explore Orange County's historical sites. It’s a perfect way to appreciate our rich heritage. ? Give Back: Participate in community service events. It’s a fulfilling way to honor the spirit of Memorial Day. As you celebrate, remember that every home we help find is a step towards building strong, connected communities. How are you celebrating Memorial Day in your community this year? Share your plans below and let’s honor this special day together. #MemorialDay #Community #RealEstate #BabyBoomers #OrangeCounty

Building Better Communities—what does that mean, exactly? To me, it is seeing this: our employee-owners came together to select the organizations we wanted to support, and our clients and friends helped determine how our support would be distributed. The best part is that these three organizations now have more resources to serve their communities.

A sense of hope doesn’t just arise in peace. It’s forged in unity. When I lived and worked in rural communities, in particular on a farm in Japan, I witnessed this firsthand. Challenges—like extreme weather threatening crops—were inevitable. But what gave us strength wasn’t the absence of challenges; it was the bond we shared as a community. No matter what happened, we knew we’d come together to support each other. In today’s increasingly divided world, it’s easy to feel disconnected and retreat inward, focusing only on our personal safety and well-being. But when we isolate ourselves, the gaps in our world—between those with access to opportunities and resources and those without—only grow wider. This isolation doesn’t just create scarcity for others; it fosters insecurity for us all. What the world truly needs now is connection. When we step out, extend a hand, and support one another, we create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to rise. This is how hope is born—not just for a few, but for all of us. As we approach this season of giving and appreciation, we can embrace the power of small, collective actions to create real change. Together, we can inspire hope for our planet, our children, our communities, and our shared future. That’s why we’ve introduced the ‘Season of Hope’ Bundled Gifts—a meaningful way for our Members to create hope where it’s needed most. With four specially designed bundles, you can make a difference by purchasing these themed bundles: ??? Hope for Our Planet ?? Hope for the Children ?? Hope for Humanity ??
