Padanaram — Agents and managers at Jack Conway Realtors got together last week to honor a change in management at the Padanaram office.

After several years of stellar leadership at Conway-Padanaram, Brenda Simmons decided to head back into sales, choosing to spend more time with her family. Sue Haley, a long-time successful salesperson at Conway-Mattapoisett, was hand picked by company Chairman Jack Conway to take the reins in Padanaram.

“Brenda did such a wonderful job for us and we wish her well,” said Conway, as he toasted the pair in front of more than 40 guests, including former agents and friends of Conway. “And when we needed someone to run this office, Sue was an excellent choice and we know she will succeed in this role.”

Hanover– As spring approaches and the birds return to nest, they will have some newly decorated homes courtesy of Jack Conway Realtors.

For the past 15 years, Conway agents, managers and family members participated in the “Houses that Build Homes” program to benefit Habitat for Humanity. Participants decorate the birdhouses, donated by Cape Cod Lumber, which are then sold to the public at South Shore Plaza as part of the fundraising program.

“You can see how much fun people have decorating them, and how well they turn out,” said company President Dick Cahill. “And it’s an important cause to help build housing in the community.”

This year’s sale will kick off April 25 at noon, with special guest Anthony Everett of WVCB-TV. The sale of the decorative and functional birdhouses will run all weekend April 25-27. The funds raised last year amounted to more than $15,000.

“The money we raise from this really makes a difference,” said Habitat’s Executive Director Jerry McDermott at the Conway judging event. “It’s a way to celebrate spring, and to help local families in need of housing.”

Conway holds a contest each year for the best decorated birdhouses, and awards prizes for the winners in each of several age groups. This year there were 40 Conway entries.

In the 3-4 year old group, Caroline Canavan was the winner, with Colin Williams in second place.

In the 7-8 year old group, Liam Canavan was first, Caitlin Canavan second, Nicole McGovern was third and Katlyn and Hayley LaCava finished fourth.

In the age 11 group, Karen Boisson was first, and Chris McGovern was second.

In the adult category, Pembroke manager Joan Williams was the winner. Sue Depatie of Conway-Plymouth was second, Sheryl Balerna (Pembroke) was third, Kathleen Welch (Hingham) fourth, Tony Caponigro (Norton) fifth, and Joan Willams’ second entry was sixth. Honorable mention went to Conway-Mansfield manager Joyce Gerraughty.

CONWAY DANCER HONORED

Conway- Hanson agent Chairel Baker accepts a certificate of appreciation for her work on “Dancing with the Realtors” from company President Dick Cahill (right) and regional Vice President Brian McCormick.

Hanson– Whether it’s ice skating, jazzercise or dancing, Jack Conway Realtors agent Chairel Baker has always been moving.

So when she heard about plans for “Dancing with the Realtors” at a meeting of the Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors (PASS), she thought she’d give it a try. After all it was to benefit the Habitat for Humanity.

“I asked them to just do one thing, tell me if I’m horrible and I can’t do this,” said Baker, a longtime Conway agent. “I like to do things out of my comfort zone, it challenges me.”

Baker instead entered a new comfort zone as she progressed all the way through the initial rounds and ended up second place overall. She was part of a group that raised $88,000 for Habitat for Humanity, and was recently honored with a champagne celebration by her colleagues recently at Conway-Hanson.

“Chairel did such a great job, and got involved in the community,” said company Chairman Jack Conway as he toasted Baker. “Habitat for Humanity is a great cause and the dancing really created a buzz around their work.”

Baker gave much credit to her dance partner and instructor Anatoli Gorolevici from the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Hanover. She trained with Gorolevici extensively, and grew to love what she was doing.

“I made some great friends and it was all good,” said Baker, who grew up in Holbrook. “And I’ve made some solid real estate connections through it, which was a plus.”

Scituate– More than 50 people came out to the Jack Conway Realtors Scituate office to honor manager Elaine Bongarzone’s selection as the 2008 president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Company Chairman Jack Conway, a former chamber president, toasted Bongarzone in front of agents, managers, family and friends, and acknowledged the job she has ahead.

“It’s not an easy task, but if anyone can do it, it’s Elaine,” said Conway. “She is hard working and dedicated. She knows and loves the town of Scituate.”

Bongarzone has been with Conway for almost a dozen years, and just completed a successful first year as manager of the Scituate office. She took over the reigns of the office from her mother, Mary Pecce, a longtime Conway agent and manager.

“Everyone here, my friends, family and co-workers, has been so supportive,” said Bongarzone. “I wouldn’t be here without it, and I will continue to count on it as we go through the year.”

Bongarzone and Conway also welcomed the two newest members of the chamber. Financial planner and artist Charlie Stockbridge and computer expert Glenn Doyle both were honored for joining the group.

“The chamber is strong and we’re set to do some great things in Scituate,” said Bongarzone.
