UNITED WE PAINT COALITION TO HELP OUT THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB 

 By: North County Times 

VISTA ---- While hundreds of folks are set to participate in the city-sponsored Vistan's ROC cleanup event Saturday, just down the street, dozens of volunteers from the local office of Realty Executives will be giving a face-lift to the Vista Boys & Girls Club.

The real estate agents are taking part in a project called United We Paint, which seeks to improve the exteriors of homes belonging to low-income seniors, military families in need, and those physically and/or mentally challenged. Community service groups such as the Boys & Girls Club also qualify.

Throughout Southern California on Saturday, roughly 5,000 volunteers will improve about 120 homes, according to the group's Web site, www.unitedwepaint.org

In Vista, about 25 people from the local Realty Executives office are expected to participate in the Boys & Girls Club project, said David Reeve, an agent there.

"It's just a no-brainer for us to give back to the community," Reeve said. "Any time you can do a little to help somebody a lot, it's a great thing. Peggy (Reiber) at the Boys & Girls Club was just so excited that they were going to be nominated for the project. Their building really needs it."
