Here’s Proof, Annapolis, That Keller Williams Agents Really Are Out For Blood
June 16th, 2008 Categories: Keller Williams Culture
So Roll Up Your Sleeves and Hop Aboard the AAMC Blood Mobile at Our KW Office This Coming Thursday, June 19th
I normally try to keep a safe distance from anything that involves sharp objects and blood, especially my own.
The notable exception is once every few months when we - The Moss Haedrich Team - help to organize a community blood drive at our office. Our local area needs roughly 7,300 units of blood each year and it takes work and a small army of volunteer donors to keep the supply from running low. We’re glad to do our part and help rally some troops for the effort.
Incidentally, all the blood that’s donated to the Anne Arundel Medical Center’s Blood Donor Center - and that includes the blood mobile program - stays right here in the community, where it is used for more than 3,000 life saving transfusions each year.
If you’d like to help out and pitch in a pint, the AAMC Blood Mobile will be parked at our office at 7 Old Solomons Island Road this Thursday, June 19th, from 10:00AM to 1:00PM. In addition to plenty of moral support for big sissies like myself, they’ll be refreshments on hand. As a bonus, you’ll get a free mini-physical including blood pressure and temperature checks, blood iron level test, and cholesterol screening. All good stuff to know.
You can just show up if you like - well hydrated, please - but if you’d like to reserve a 15 minute time slot, or have any other questions, call me directly 410-507-7222. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you there.

A Stroll Along Maryland Ave
June 6th, 2008 Categories: Fun Fridays
Just a Short Walk From the Buzz of City Dock and Main Street, a Quaint and Quiet Stretch of Downtown Annapolis
I wonder how many visitors come to Annapolis for a day trip and miss Maryland Avenue entirely. Most, I’m afraid.
Shame, because it’s less crowded than Main Street and the City Dock area, the shops and galleries are great, and the architecture is some of the most striking that you’ll find in town. In the 18th century, Maryland Ave was the most fashionable residential street in the city, and it’s not hard - as you stroll from one end to the other - to imagine the privileged lives of the residents who built some of the homes here.
Here are a few of the sights you’ll see along this historic street.

An (Unscheduled) Garden Tour in Davidsonville

Sometimes, Previewing a Property Yields the Unexpected - Like a Private Tour of a Neighbor’s Stunning Garden
Getting lost is underrated. Hardly anybody gets lost anymore, thanks to Mapquest and GPS devices. But we managed to do so today, searching for a piece a property we were scheduled to preview. Our wrong turn landed us in a neighbor’s driveway, where we got talking to the owner who kindly offered us on a tour of her property.
The owner and her husband, she told us, have owned the property for nearly three decades and it looked as if they’d spent much of that time in the gardens. They were simply gorgeous - lush beds, stone pathways, a serene park-like feel. It was landscape as art. Have a peek.
