NORTH POLE NEWSFLASH: The Sanibel Elves partner with Pfeifer Realty Group giving away a sleigh full fo FREE reusable shopping bags in an effort to GO GREEN on Sanibel and Captiva Islands.

LET'S GO GREEN TOGETHER! Reducing the consumption of Single-Use Plastics is an easy way to impact the environment in a meaningful way. Pfeifer's "GO GREEN" shopping bag giveaway will last as long as there is demand. With 10 more cases to arrive in February, Pfeifer Realty Group is committed to making a meaningful impact to help improve the community. And when we run out of bags, we will order more.

DID YOU KNOW? Every year over 100 billion disposable single-use plastic bags are used in the United States! That's more than 114 thousand plastic bags handed out every hour! After one use, most plastic bags end up in landfills and many find their way into the oceans. Pfeifer's oversized reusable bags are washable, durable and best of all they're FREE. Stop by the Pfeifer office anytime to pick up a bag or two.

WHO ARE THE SANIBEL ELVES? That's a great question! Pfeifer Realty Group opened in 2008 during a downturn in the economy. Some say they had time on their hands, perhaps too much time. As the first holiday season approached, it was apparent that their office had space to share. Eric and Mary Ellen Pfeifer worked out an arrangement with Santa to relocate his most productive elves into the attic above their office. On December 1st, 2008 Santa expanded his workshop by relocating 6 of his best elves Palmer, Shelly, Bailey, Junonia and the twins Perry & Winkle to Pfeifer's office establishing a first-ever Southern workshop on Sanibel Island.

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, the Sanibel Elves have made the best of their new home. Sugared up on Candy, Candy Canes, Candy Corn and Corn Syrup, these mischievous elves on Segways, Scooters, Paddleboards, Bikes, Golf Carts, and even a Harley wreak havoc island-wide. They have yet to produce one toy in the past 11 years.
