CONWAY CHARITY GOLF RAISES FUNDS FOR HOMELESS

July 10, 2012 jackconway No comments

Participants in the 28^th annual Conway Country Charity Golf for the Homeless event at the Easton Country Club helped raise more than $15,000.

The event, run by Jack Conway & Co., benefits homeless causes throughout Southeastern Massachusetts. A damp start didn’t cloud the excitement of the full field of 144 golfers who helped celebrate the event’s 28^th year. By the time golfers were on their third hole, the sun was out and course was in superb condition.

“This tournament is so special because we have some people who have been here every year we’ve run it,” said Conway Regional VP Denis Lilla as he welcomed the golfers. “And once again this year we’ve surpassed our fundraising goals and had a lot of fun doing it.

For almost three decades, Conway Country golfers have helped raise over $500,000 since the tournament’s inception in 1984, which went directly to shelters like MainSpring House in Brockton, Conway House in Middleboro and Evelyn House in Stoughton.

The winning team for this year’s tourney was Bill Bridge, Matt Vaughn Brian Reid and Adam Rubin, and they shot a 10-under, 61 in the scramble format. Rubin also won the closest to the pin contest. Tony Lilla won long drive contest for the men, with Tara O’Donnell winning the long drive prize on the ladies side.

CONWAY HONORS SELLARS AS CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

February 13, 2012 jackconway No comments

Brigadier General Thomas J. Sellars (center) was honored by Chairman Jack Conway and CEO Carol Bulman at the 25th annual Conway Country convention

Brigadier General Thomas J. Sellars, newly retired Commander of the Massachusetts Army National Guard, was honored as the Conway Country 2011 Citizen of the Year at Jack Conway Realtor’s annual convention held last week at the Quincy Marriott Hotel. The General accepted his award on behalf of the 6,400 troops he had led in Iraq, Afghanistan, and here in the Commonwealth. He then switched roles and unexpectedly presented Chairman Jack Conway with the Department of the Army’s “Commander’s Award for Public Service.”

“I’m honored to be recognized by a company that has given back so much to the community and has helped generations of Massachusetts citizens to become homeowners,” said Sellars. “There is a difference between a business and an institution. An institution has its own personality – its own history, and it serves all of us. The Jack Conway institution is something I’m proud to be a part of, and if a man is known by the company he keeps, then I’m feeling pretty good today.”

U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel James Sahady, who accompanied Sellars to the ceremony, presented the Commander’s Award to Jack Conway as CEO Carol Bulman and hundreds of Conway Country associates rose to their feet waving a sea of American flags hailing both their founder and their citizen of the year.

A Brockton native and graduate of the Stoughton Public Schools, Brig. Gen. Tom Sellars and his wife Nancy live in Randolph. He retired from his 37-year career in the Massachusetts National Guard in September shortly before the last U.S. soldier returned from the war.

Conway's Swampscott Team at the Lynn Chamber of Commerce

Jack Conway, Realtor’s Swampscott Office recently hosted a booth at the Lynn Chamber of Commerce’s Home, Garden and Health Show. The event, which took place at Swampscott High School from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., drew hundreds of visitors to view the wares of vendors ranging from cosmetic dentists to mortgage lenders, along with cooking demonstrations, guest lectures and a keynote speech by Dr. Sheldon Sevinor, a celebrated plastic surgeon.

“The home show was a great chance for my agents to get out and talk real estate with potential buyers and sellers and other members of the community,” said Conway-Swampscott Manager Tim Knowlton. “We were the only Realtors there, and we came away with many new friends and several new customers.”

Hosting the Conway booth during the day-long event were Swampscott sales associates Lisa Scourtas, Amanda Brawley, Paul Ferraro, Teresa Flaherty, Sue Garcelon, Barbara Kennedy-White, Glenn Kessler, Ronnie Northrop, and Sue Sinrich, as well as loan specialist Chris Curran of New England Mortgage Partners, the financial arm of Jack Conway, Realtor.

CONWAY’S SIMMONS HONORED FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE

December 19, 2011 jackconway No comments

Julie Simmons with Jack Conway

A banquet hall filled with orange and gold balloons, cornucopias, fall flowers and stacks of food for the hungry was the setting for Jack Conway, Realtor’s annual Thanksgiving Award Breakfasts held at the Plymouth Radisson Hotel. More than 400 Conway sales associates from Boston to Cape Cod, the South Coast and the North Shore attended the event at which agents were honored for “team spirit and congeniality.” The winners received gift checks to purchase a Thanksgiving turkey, and all attendees brought non-perishable food items to contribute to the Charity Guild of Brockton.

“We have a lot of functions in our company that recognize agents for top production,” said Conway CEO Carol Bulman. “But this ceremony honors our associates for the intangible qualities of kindness, good humor and camaraderie. These individuals are true winners because they help and support their colleagues and their communities all year long.”

The local recipient of the Conway Thanksgiving Award from the Dorchester office was Anne O’Brien, who was recognized for her volunteer work on behalf of the Franklin Park Zoo and for being a “consistently positive influence in her office.” Also honored at the breakfast was Conway-Dorchester Manager Julie Simmons who received a special Conway Country Community Service Award for her contributions and support of her Dorchester community during the past year. Simmons serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees for the First Parish Church in Dorchester, one of the oldest churches in the city of Boston, and has been actively involved in raising funds for a massive renovation of the Circa 1631 building.

The Annual Thanksgiving breakfasts have been a tradition in Conway Country for more than 30 years, and with all of the great homes for sale in Plymouth MA that Jack Conway represents, the location is a natural choice. “We gather here in America’s hometown every November for our celebration,” said Chairman Jack Conway, who delivered the opening greeting to the group. “It’s where our country’s first Thanksgiving took place, and it reminds us to thank God for the many wonderful things we have in our lives.”

CONWAY AGENTS HELP FEED THE HUNGRY

October 27, 2011 abecker No comments

Conway Agents Volunteer at New Bedford Salvation Army

Barbecue chicken, potato salad and corn on the cob were on the menu for Sunday dinner at the Salvation Army Kitchen in New Bedford on October 16th. The food was cooked and served by a number of Jack Conway Realtors on the Greater New Bedford Association of Realtors’ (GRNBAR) Community Service and Donations Committee. The group’s goal was to prepare and serve full course meals to the homeless in the downtown New Bedford Area.

Conway-Padanaram agent Nona Sbordone, and Mattapoisett agent Joanne Mecke help serve food the homeless in New Bedford.

“We conduct food drives and cook the dinners ourselves,” said Nona Sbordone, a Conway-Padanaram agent who recently obtained a $500 grant from her local Shaws Supermarket to benefit the cause. “We usually serve a meal to about 300 people – some individuals and some families. I’ve been doing this for about two years, and I would never give it up. They are so grateful for our help.”

Sbordone and her manager Brenda Simmons serve on the GRNBAR committee with fellow Conway agents Laurie Wilkie, manager of Conway-Dartmouth, and Conway-Mattapoisett agents Mary McCann, Sue Haley, Joanne Mecke and Paula Tosca. “Everyone pitches in and cooks the meals, and we all participate in the food drives to collect canned goods and non-perishable items,” said Simmons. “Nona is particularly involved in finding new locations for us to set up our drives, and she was instrumental in securing the recent grant from Shaws. She is a ‘can-do’ person in the truest sense of the word.”

Anne Arruda, executive assistant at GRNBAR, was happy to forward the $500 check from the Dartmouth Supermarket to the Salvation Army for its food pantry. “I know Nona helped make it happen by talking with the Shaws upper management about our committee,” said Arruda. “We thank her so much for her hard work on behalf of the homeless.”

CONWAY COUNTRY ROAD RACE TO RUN OCT. 1

September 6, 2011 jackconway No comments

The good works of Conway House, a Middleboro homeless shelter, will get a boost from an upcoming Conway Country Road Race in October. Members of Jack Conway Realtor’s Lakeville office are organizing a 5-mile run next month with all proceeds going to the local shelter for homeless women and children.

The event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to noon starting and ending at the Jack Conway Lakeville Office at 10 Main Street (Rte. 105). Runners will travel the scenic country roads of Middleboro and Lakeville before arriving back at the Conway Country finish line. Prizes will be awarded to the first place male and female overall winners as well as winners in specific age groups.

“We’re hoping to have more than 400 runners and a large group of local sponsors involved in the race,” said Denis Lilla, Conway Regional VP and manager of the Lakeville office. “Our Chairman Jack Conway has always been a strong advocate for the homeless and we wanted our race to benefit that cause.”

Conway House was established in 1996 and named in honor of Jack Conway and his wife Patricia in recognition of their lifetime of charitable works. It is operated today by Father Bill’s & MainSpring and provides food, clothing, and counseling to 12 homeless families.

Conway-Lakeville Realtor Bob Joyal is chairman of the Conway Country Road Race Committee, which includes fellow agents Jack Walters, Hugh Harp, Lilla, and Phil Scorgie. “We are asking local businesses to help support our event and add to the funds we can raise for Conway House,” said Joyal. “Sponsorships are available in amounts of $50 to $1,000, each offering marketing opportunities for the sponsor. The registration fee for runners is $20 before Sept. 29, $25 after that date. We’re hoping to make this a community-wide event. Rain or shine, it’s going to be a great day.”

CONWAY SPONSORS CUTTING EDGE CONFERENCE

July 29, 2011 jackconway No comments

Jack Conway, Realtor recently sponsored and participated in Real Estate Bar Camp Boston 2011. The unique technology seminar drew hundreds of local real estate professionals to the Back Bay Events Center for day-long learning and networking. Several Conway agents and members of the management team joined the event.

“We were so excited to be a part of this, and proud to be a sponsor,” said Conway Regional Manager Peter Ruffini. “It was a chance to learn and hear from some really knowledgeable and innovative people in the industry.”

The concept for RE BarCamp came from a technology BarCamp event held in San Francisco. Wikipedia defines a barcamp as: an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. Every session is not planned out in advance. Nobody is paid to deliver a session. Anybody can deliver a session and attendees are strongly encouraged to participate.

Long thought of as a forward-thinking company, Conway has positioned itself as a leader in technology with a successfully redesigned wesbite that possesses cutting edge tools for agents and the brokerage. The REBar Camp Boston was a chance to learn more about social media and other ways for the company to engage with customers.

“We heard from some of the best and brightest local people in social media, SEO strategy and online customer service,” said Al Becker, Conway’s director of marketing. “It was important to be there, and be familiar with these strategies.”

CONWAY HONORS SPECIAL GIFT ON FLAG DAY

July 9, 2011 jackconway No comments

Flag Day had extra meaning this year for Jack Conway, Chairman of the 54-year-old Jack Conway & Co. real estate firm. On June 14, Conway received the gift of a U.S. flag from Christopher J. “C.J.” Stevens, a Captain in the 1^st Battalion, 10^th Combat Aviation Brigade stationed in Afghanistan.

Stevens, who is the son of Conway Relocation Director Dawn Stevens of Hanson, recently flew the flag into battle on his Army helicopter in honor of 87-year-old Jack Conway, a WWII Navy veteran. He mailed the flag to his mother who presented it to the chairman of the board on Flag Day.

“Jack has been interested in C.J.’s achievements since he first entered West Point right after high school,” said Dawn Stevens. “Our company has even collected items to send to his crew, and this was my son’s way of thanking him for his support.”

Conway was surprised and honored by the gift from Captain Stevens.

“This flag, which was flown in the battlefields of Afghanistan by a local citizen from Hanson touched me deeply,” he said. “I have always had the utmost respect for the sacrifices made by our young men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to preserve our way of life here in America. I thank C.J. sincerely, and I assure him that this flag will be flown at Conway Country ceremonies for many years to come.”
