Chris Welland

Staff in the Sutton Group – West Coast Realty office in Langley collected 29 bags stuffed full of clothing and blankets during the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s Blanket Drive.  To help spread the word, sales rep Chris Welland took his musical talents to the Willowbrook Mall. He played Christmas songs and favourite hits on his keyboard for close to five hours, and estimates that several thousand people enjoyed the music, learned more about the Blanket Drive and were offered FVREB donation bags. 

He had two volunteers who greeted shoppers and handed out donation bags and flyers: Carolyn Lindholm, one of his clients, and Donna Schwartz, an assistant at the brokerage.
