REALTORS and Affiliates gather during the month of November to donate food and toiletries to support the annual Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month organized by the City of Laguna Beach Housing and Human Services and toiletries collection by local Girl Scouts.

The Laguna Board of REALTORS Directors give back to the community through a "Day of Love gardening project Rakes, shovels, brooms, hoes, large cutting tools and clippers in hand, the Directors of the Laguna Board of REALTORS partnered with the residents of Glennwood Housing Foundation to prepare their gardens for a new look. Many trees and bushes needed to be removed from their existing beds to make way for an organic garden with fruits, vegetables and herbs for their cook to use in preparing their meals. A beautiful bench was donated by the Laguna Board of REALTORS and Affiliates’ Charitable Assistance Fund to complete their beautiful garden once all the new plants are installed.

The Laguna Board of REALTORS makes history in Dana Point In 1966 a document from the Laguna Board of REALTORS was placed in a Time Capsule at the Dana Point Harbor. The metal tube which was wrapped in duct tape was opened in 2016 to reveal the contents 50 years later. On October 22, 2019 LBOR was asked again to submit an entry which will be revealed in 50 years. Our entry was the history of LBOR since 1924 which can be found on our website under the About Us tab, in the Our History section. The Time Capsule is place under the Clock Tower located in the front of entrance to the Dana Point Harbor. As shown in photo President, Dave Csira and Association Executive, Bobbie Jordan were honored to take a photo with Supervisor, Lisa Bartlett of the 5th District of Orange County in front of the Time Capsule.
