Tithing
Claudia Fox and Robert Allen
Claudia Fox and Mark Victor Hansen
I worked with the Enlightened Millionaire Institute and spent quality time with Robert Allen (author of No Money Down)and Mark Victor Hansen (author of the New York Times bestsellers Chicken Soup for the Soul and The One Minute Millionaire), both whom I have respect for. Mark wrote a book called “The Miracle of Tithing” A Little Book of Answers to Questions about Tithing, which I have in my library and still cherish. There is a link to “The Miracle of Tithing” in my book store.
Here are some charities you can tithe to:

Northern Westchester Shelter

After watching Oprah’s Big Give reality show, my husband, Glenn Dubak, and I decided to up our tithing. We decided to give an event at his bowling alley, Cortlandt Lanes in Cortlandt, New York. The event was a huge success and families and friends turned out to donate their time and money to have fun and contribute to the Northern Westchester Shelter (Carla Horton, Executive Director) that is a temporary home to families needing to get a new start. Stephen Paletta, the Oprah Big Give winner co-hosted the event with us.
Citizens Committee for New York City
I was invited by Judy Maysles, a friend and fellow real estate associate, to attend the “Citizens Committee for New York City” awards dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. It was a fabulous evening and what I was most struck by is the generosity of New Yorkers, not only in giving but in generously giving of their time. I have added this organization to my list of charities.

Habitat for Humanity
Join me in my efforts to support Habitat-NYC
Stan Ponte, President of Coldwell Banker Previews International, founded Brokers Build which was a way to bring New York brokers together to give to a charity. I was privileged to attend many events to raise money for Habitat for Humanity as well as to participate in a day of work on site at one the buildings Habitat for Humanity is building in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York. There I learned how to put up sheet rock. I gained a new found admiration for contractors who spend their day working like this. It took a whole day to just get three walls up. You can imagine the expertise it takes to get the building done. We all had a great time and it was great camaraderie toward a common goal.
