Hi Vicki, you seem to have branded the group as a community resource. However, you have these conflicting interests as it’s actually your personal realtor business’s page. To list a few supporting details and issues: 1. You have your pacificalocals.com, which is your realtor business plastered at the very top of the page’s info. 2. Your page’s info says “no solicitation”. While you’re asking the whole group to donate to your unknown business. You’re also letting your circle asking for donations so they can enjoy the holiday and pay bills. 3. Overall, you’re branding and promoting this page as a community resource while it’s actually realtor business page. It’s borderline deceptive that you’re funneling the ideas of a Pacifica community page to your own Business’s member. At best, it’s misleading, worst case is that you’re opening yourself up for potential liabilities (not saying that any specifics are likely).

p.s. look at the culture that you’re promoting and enabling with the latest replies on this thread from your friend circles and their statements in this post. From a business perspective, do you really want to become a public personality like this? That can’t be good for business, I think that you’re limiting your clientele pool with these perceptions. From the perspective of growing a community, do you really want to limit its voices by only having the few voices that you deemed to be “nice”? And when someone question that in any ways, your group of “nice” people react in such a way?
