NBA 101 for Women - Monday, September 21st

This is an event I had not heard of before, at least not at the America Airline Center. Its a basketball clinic for women which covers everything from offense/defense to strength/conditioning.

This event will be held on Monday September 21st from 6-10 pm and is open to the first 200 participants. The cost for this clinic is $75 but there is so much more offered than just a typical clinic:

  • Dinner and Refreshments
  • Voucher for 2 tickets to a Mavs pre-selected preseason game
  • NBA 101 T-Shirt
  • NBA 101 Workbook (offense, defense, therapy, and weight training)

The event is broken down by groups of 20-25. These groups rotate through each station which feature different basketball elements:

  • Offense
  • Defense
  • Officiating and Rules
  • Injuries and Rehabilitation
  • Strength and Conditioning
  • Q&A with Select Players as well as group photos
  • Old #7 - Broadcasters

Learn more about the game than just shooting the ball in the hoop. Find out what its like to be a WNBA player.

From reading about this event, I did not see any age restrictions. I'd suggest registering online, and I'm sure more information will be available. For such information, go to www.NBA.com/Mavericks

City Hall 101 Frisco Texas - Registration Underway

Each month I talk about 'Coffee With The Mayor' here in Frisco Texas. Its a casual meeting each month that the Mayor hosts for the residents of Frisco Texas. On average, 25+ residents show up each month and participate.

During a meeting a few months back, the Mayor introduced a class called "City Hall 101". This class provides a behind the scenes look at the daily activity of City Hall. This weekly class is held on Monday Nights from 6 pm - 9 pm.

Do you want to know how the City of Frisco operates? Now is your chance. Class begins Monday 9/14 and continues to December 7th. Each week, there will be a new focus on a different city department or program. The city leaders and staff will present the information in an informal setting and encourage any/all questions.

As usual, this class is on a First Come, First Serve basis. So, register today as space is limited to 25 and fills up quickly.

Participants must be 18 years or older. All classes are held at City Hall insde the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center.

How about that... Home Sales rise 7.2% in Dallas from June to July

Its true! Home Sales have risen 7.2% from June to July. Did you know this is the BIGGEST increase month-over-month in almost 10 years? That is great news!

How did this happen? Well, there are 3 main reasons that home sales have increased.

  • Lower Prices - Higher inventory has brought down many home values. This is good news for buyers, but not so great for sellers.
  • Low Interest Rates - Rates were at an all time low in February 2009. But just because the media stopped talking about the rates does not mean they have jumped way up. Rates are still fantastically low!
  • First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit - Although I am not convinced that this sparked a ton more buyers, it certainly did not hurt at all. However, I am sure that many First Time Home Buyers purchased a little earlier to ensure they received the credit. Hey, why not!
We are getting nearer to end of summer (this summer has flown by), which also means we are getting closer to deadline of the 11/30/09 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. This is money the government is giving to you, just for buying a home which you are going to do anyway. Take advantage of the opportunity while it is still available to you.

Ask any parent and they will tell you "It's GREAT to be a parent!" I completely agree and would not trade my kids for anything in the world, but sometimes you need some time for yourself.

Family Frisco YMCA has organized a 'Parents Night Out' for THIS SATURDAY (8/15/09)! But you need to act quickly as they only have room for 50 kids.

You may register online or in person. I would suggest to go to their online site in order to ensure you get a spot. Here is the link to the online registration for easy access.

So, here is what you need to know:

PNO will be hosted by Frisco Family YMCA located @ 3415 Main Street in Frisco Texas. You'll have 4 hours to go to dinner, see a movie, have coffee with friends, or just TAKE A NAP! PNO starts at 6 pm and goes until 10 pm.

If you are a member of YMCA, the cost is $25 for the first child and $15 for each additional child. Non-members cost $30 for the first child and $20 for each additional child.

The cost covers Top Notch care from your YMCA Camp Counselors, a G-rated movie, crafts, snacks, friends, and LOTS of fun activities.
