Like a Good Neighbor...

As many of you know UFS adopted Neighborhood House many years ago as their primary charity. Once again this year UFS was able to give the SANTA FOR SENIORS PROGRAM and the TOY SHOP well over $10,000 worth of merchandise and gifts. This year over 900 children and more than 1,100 seniors received gifts that would otherwise not have happened. How fortunate and blessed we are to have made such a difference in the lives and Christmases of 2,000 people. This is a herculean effort and Neighborhood House should be proud of what we accomplished together. Unfortunately the need keeps growing and growing. There will be more folks that need help in 2012 and until the economy turns around we need to keep them in mind. No matter what we have or don't have there are always others who need our help. So thank you for helping us take care of our Neighbors at Neighborhood House. Together we can keep making a difference to our adopted family.

DOWN WITH THE WHITE PLAGUE HERE COMES STAINLESS!!

You know there's a lot to be said for this time of year. We know it's not the cold weather,or the snow or the oppressive gloom...It's that sudden influx of cash that our government has been holding for us throughout 2011. It's an opportunity to upgrade....upgrade you ask? Absolutely, upgrade your appliances, your furniture or whatever is a source of aggravation in your life, (Ladies,I did not mean it is time to upgrade your man....although at times it's an appealing idea. Unfortunately I suspect they may have the same idea, just as long as we don't have the idea on the same day and time we'll be OK.) No I'm talking about stuff...Like I'm so tired of looking at my WHITE REFRIGERATOR, AND STOVE AND DISHWASHER. Why can't I have STAINLESS? In my heart of hearts I love the look of stainless, the sleek, modern, contemporary shimmer of all that is good and cool. To be truly honest I COVET stainless appliances. Don't I deserve them? Well ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!! Right now Frigidaire is offering a $300 rebate on a 4 piece stainless set including range, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave. That brings the cost of all three pieces to $1899. I can't waste any time the offer extends until 1/21/12. So who's with me??? DOWN WITH THE WHITE PLAGUE HERE COMES STAINLESS.
