In Memory of 2.5 Month old Victoria Arvin. Killed By Her Own Father!

Jennifer Martin: Real Estate Agent in Santa Claus, IN

AR Members and Visitors ... I normally wouldn't post something like this but this is very close to home for me. I am in the process of selling this little girl's grandparents home here in Santa Claus Indiana, and as is expected, this whole situation has been very hard on this family. Our kids have played together for years and again - it's close to home for me because these aren't just "Clients", they are our friends.

The Santa Claus Indiana "Fifth Third Bank" is taking donations to help pay for funeral expenses for Victoria and I hope that area Realtors can find it in their hearts to make a donation. These grandparents are heartbroken and could really use our help!

The Actual News Article on 14 WFIE (Evansville)

OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE) - A fund has been set up in Owensboro to help pay for the funeral expenses of a 2-month-old girl police say was killed by her father.

Robert Arvin, 32, was arrested last week after Victoria Arvin was found not breathing. Police say Arvin intentionally caused serious physical injury to the baby.

If you'd like to donate to Victoria Arvin's Memorial Fund, you can do so at an Fifth Third Bank Branch.

Alaskin Winter Blues --- Spend Winters in Santa Claus Indiana!

Jennifer Martin: Real Estate Agent in Santa Claus, IN

THAT's RIGHT ...

If you live in Alaska and you are finding that Winter is lasting WAY-TOO-LONG --- why not live in a place called SANTA CLAUS??? Quite Frankly You'd be the Envy of your Neighbors :)!

I am actually working with an Alaskin Couple who are looking to spend their Winters here in Santa Claus and they were shocked by how affordable it is to buy a pre-existing home (that they could not build for the price) here. They are of course looking at Christmas Lake Village, which is our Gated Community with roughly 27 Miles of Road Way, 3 Spring-Fed Lakes, Parks & Recreation, Water Sports, Sandy Beachs and Miles of Shoreline. (Just to name a few amenities)

Our Annual (No I did not Stutter --- Our ANNUAL) Home Owner Association Fee is ONLY: $350 per year/per lot with an maximum annual increase of ONLY 5%. You can purchase a LOT (with no plans to build) and enjoy ALL the amenities within the village! You can purchase a Pre-Existing Home (Lake-Front) for under $300,000. NOTE: Our top priced property is around $900,000 (Just Under) and it is INCREDIBLE!

Our Three Lakes:

1. Christmas Lake = 217 Acres
2. Holly Lake = Approximately 35 - 45 Acres
3. Lake Noel = Approximately 35 - 45 Acres

Living In Santa Claus Indiana is like being on vacation --- YEAR ROUND!
