I wanted to take the space & some time to thank you for helping me, help the “BOYS & GIRLS CLUB”! It brings tears of joy to my eyes as I think of all of you who gave so unselfishly to this wonderful project. The Boys & Girls Club was in big trouble because of operating funds, etc. It was four (4) days from having to close it’s doors! How terrible that would have been! As I visited the Club I became more aware of how important it was to these young people. The programs draw all ages, even those who could go home after school love to come to the club and many of them sent me cards and gave me hugs when I visited. They were so grateful for the opportunities they had because of the Boys & Girls Club. Many of them would go home to an empty house and no dinner on the table. The Club has made so many things possible but we still need your help to continue this heartfelt program. Thank you, thank you, thank you...for helping me help them. It is something that will live on even after we’re gone.

THANKS FOR BEING MY PARTNER IN THIS! GRATEFULLY & ENTHUSIASTICALLY,

cHar HUFF

There are moments in life that cause us to hesitate. Selling your home shouldn’t be one of them. If you’re thinking about selling your home, don’t hesitate. The combination of low interest rates for home buyers and a shortage of homes for sale in many areas of the country indicate that now may be the right time to sell. When you’re ready, be sure to contact a real estate agent who’s a REALTOR®. REALTORS® have up-to-date information on market conditions in your area and can show you options that best fit your situation.
