Estancia Water Polo Benefit

Congrats to Maren McClanahan of Estancia High School and her tile wall project. I was lucky enough to support Maren as a sponsor with her project along with another Realtor and the local Home Depot team as part of our old Veranda Homes company which I founded.

It was part of her higher Girl Scout community project leadership, and it is a super cool addition to the wall at the pool and aquatics center of Estancia High School. The plan is to continue to add color and build individual sponsorship tiles in this area of the aquatics center.

Way to go Maren!
