Join Barrister in Striking Out Hunger for the Holidays

November 2, 2010

From November 1 through November 15, 2010, Barrister Executive Suites, Inc. is leading a fund drive with its employees and tenants on behalf the Los Angeles and San Diego Regional Food Banks.

“After learning that one in seven local residents faces hunger and that children and seniors are the hardest hit, we decided to reach out to our community of tenants and try to help,” says Margaret Gunning, Barrister’s Executive Vice President and General Manager. “We are calling on those who are able to contribute to this cause.”

At each of Barrister’s 20 suites, tenants can make a donation to the food drive by simply dropping off a check at the reception desk. On November 15^th, all the checks will be collected and a donation will be made to the Food Bank.

“Sometimes people don’t know exactly what they can to do to help, so we’re trying to make it easier for them. We all gain from having a healthy community,” Gunning adds.

The funds we raise will help the Food Bank supply food to over 550 charitable agencies with more than 900 sites that provide food for low-income children, families, senior citizens and individuals in need throughout Los Angeles and San Diego County.

Every dollar raised enables the Food Bank to distribute four meals or five pounds of food. This means we can provide more than 400 meals for every $100 raised. We believe that a fund drive is the easiest way for us to give back to our community. With over 2,000 tenants, we hope to raise 10,000 pounds of food for the LA and San Diego Food Banks.

For more information about donating or volunteering, please visit the LA Food Bank and San Diego Food Bank websites:

Barrister Executive Suites, Inc. congratulates L.A.C.R.A. on the 23rd Annual Broker Challenge.

October 16, 2009

The LACRA (Los Angles County Realtor Association) Broker Challenge has been an annual tradition among the local Commercial Real Estate community for over 23 years.

This year congratulations go out to McGuire Properties for their victory.

Barrister Executive Suites, Inc has proudly shown support for the event through sponsorship or participation for over 7 straight years. Suite Manager, Amanda Wirts, participated in the planning committee for the event for the 2^nd consecutive year, which this year brought in an estimated $96,000 . “Of course, we’re always eager to help out and give back.” Said Amanda, “our commitment to serving local business’ and the community runs deep at our company. The Brokers who participate are all great! I really enjoy helping out and working with all of them”.

The day’s activities include a paddle tennis match, surfboard relay, and special event relay. Spectators all turned out to watch as the Brokers battled it out for the championship trophy, as well as bragging rights for the rest of the year. “The competition was fierce. Newmark Knight Frank had the 1^st place lead going into the last round, I thought they were going to win” said Amanda, “But the Mc Guire team pulled ahead and won the last 2 relays, so they squeaked past in overall points to win the trophy. Very Impressive!”
