Spring by Sarah McIlwaine T he 2018 AAMD Spring Clean took place on Friday, May 4th at the three Denver Family HomeStead Properties. We had about 196 volunteers who worked the day of the event including 13 management companies who participated. The Spring Clean Committee was chaired by Pam Frankenreiter and vice chaired by Jay Neal and Christine Hatter. www.aamdhq.org Family HomeStead recently increased their housing capacity with the acquisition of a 33-unit apartment complex known as Parkside Apartment Homes through a lease from the Denver Housing Authority. At Spring Clean, we were able to work directly on this property cleaning and fixing it up but in conjunction with Charity Auction, we’ve raised a lot of money for Family HomeStead to help with necessary capital improvements at this new property. For the first time in over 10 years we had a company commit to being the Presenting Sponsor at the $4,000 level. Thank you, Jay Neal and 29th Street Capital Real Estate Investments for your support. In total, we raised $9,225 in sponsorships! In addition to the sponsorships that allowed us to purchase materials and tools for the event, we had seven member companies donate services in their field of expertise as well as over $2,250 worth of materials donated. It’s amazing to see the talent we have in our industry at work and the giant hearts of all the people who love to give back. Thank you! We couldn’t do this without you.
