On behalf of Village Realty, please join us in congratulating Tara A.!  She has been randomly selected as the grand prize winner & will receive a free vacation to the beautiful Outer Banks. Tara was nominated by her husband, here’s what he said in his entry:

“My wife, Tara, graduated from nursing school in December of 2019. She started her Labor and Delivery job soon after. Being a new nurse can be stressful, but being a new nurse during the pandemic adds stressors that many new nurses in the past never dealt with. With all the stressors around her, she stands tall, keeps a smile on her face, and shows up every day she is needed to help deliver love into this world, which is full of uncertainty. We have 3 small children at home, which adds again more stressors to her blooming nursing career. Every day she goes to work she does not know what she is going to bring home to her family. She puts her health in danger for her job every day. She gets yelled at when people know she is a nurse in stores, people have even told her she is a terrorist while wearing a mask to protect others. All these stressors cause strain on every aspect of her being. A vacation would add much-needed life back into her worried, tired veins.”

Thank you to everyone who entered!  We admire all of the hard work & dedication of all of the Front Line Hero, thank you for your service.

“We wanted to find a way to share the stories of the everyday heroes and remind everyone there’s light at the end of this tunnel.” says Bob Oakes, President of Village Realty. “The world will be ready for a vacation very soon, and it’s the least we can do to reward someone with a bit of relaxation after months of intense pressure dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak.
