East County realtors honored with `PSAR Day’ in San Diego County
The Pacific Southwest Association of Realtors (PSAR), a trade group for realtors who serve neighborhoods in East County communities, was honored by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors who declared Tuesday, July 30 as “PSAR Day” in the county. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob presented a proclamation to PSAR members at the July 30th board meeting.
The realtors were recognized for completing a home makeover beautification project for a disabled and unemployed La Mesa homeowner down on his luck. Receiving the proclamation from Supervisor Jacob was Jeff Campbell, 2013 PSAR president, and Carey Guthrie, chair of Helping Hands 4 Homes, a committee of PSAR members who assist less-fortunate homeowners facing hardships and in need of new hope.

Earlier this year, over several weekends, a small army of more than 100 PSAR members and supporters, including contractors and other building trade specialists, volunteered their labor over at a home previously cited by La Mesa city officials for housing code violations, said Campbell. The improvements included a new roof, landscape renovation and general clean-up. Donated construction materials included plywood, roofing, paint and plants, according to Guthrie.
