Along with enjoying face painting, pony rides, pictures with Santa and refreshments, clients who attended the annual appreciation event "Trees for Toys" picked up a gift of a tree or wreath and then gave back to the community by dropping off a new, unwrapped toy for the Waterloo Knights of Columbus New Toys for Needy Kids Toy Drive.

"Even after enjoying this successful event for five years, I am still overwhelmed by the generosity of our clients," said Peter Benninger, President and Broker of Record at Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty.

Once again, the Fire Department attended with several educational tools including the 38-foot Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty Fire Safety House and the newly refurbished Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty Fire Safety Education Van retrofitted with high tech teaching equipment that was donated this past fall.
