The Sacramento Breast Cancer Resource Center presents "An Evening of Blues and Bustiers" on Saturday, July 12th at 5:30pm at the Arden Hills Country Club. Enjoy fine dining, music, a fashion show, a both silent and live auctions. Tickets are $100 and all proceeds benefit the SBCRC.

SBCRC was founded by a local breast cancer survivor to provide free services to enhance and improve the quality of life of women undergoing the treatments and surgeries associated with breast cancer. For example, I know that they arranged to have a cancer patient's home professionally cleaned while she was being treated. Great cause!

Fast Forward - Future Development in Lincoln in the works...

Looks like there will be some future development in Placer County - specifically in the City of Lincoln. The Lewis Group of Companies has purchased a 500+ acre tract of land near its Lincoln Crossing community. Their plan is long-term, with construction starting no sooner than 2012. The Lewis Group is predicting that job growth in the greater Roseville area will fuel the need for homes in Lincoln. Read today's article in the Sacramento Bee.

Young Professionals Council Fundraiser

I think I have mentioned in the past that I am a member of the Sacramento Association of Realtors "Young Professionals Council." In the midst of all the craziness in my schedule lately, the YPC put on a vendor fair at the end of May to raise money for the Loaves and Fishes' Mustard Seed school...if you do not know what Mustard Seed is, it is a school for homeless children. We raised over $3,300 from the vendors and attendees of the fair. SMUD actually donated $500 alone! Today, 3 other YPC members and I presented the co-directors of Mustard Seed with a check...I was pretty bummed actually that we did not have a big cardboard check to give to them - perhaps next time? I was the one behind the camera, so I make a small "cameo" at the very end of the video...

I've been quoted in an Associated Press article about Foreclosures!!

Last week I was interviewed by a journalist with the Associated Press. I get interviewed about once a week because of my high search engine rankings, but this is the first time I have actually been quoted in an article...at least that I actually know of!

The journalist mis-quoted me a little bit (he says "market price" in the quote instead of "listing price"), but I suppose that is bound to happen with any interview. Perhaps I should get used to it?

He also interviewed one of my clients and used her quotes as well...they also sent a photographer out and did a shoot with my clients!! Too bad they took the photo in front of another agent's listing sign! :-(

The journalist just emailed me and said that article should be in "the newspapers" tomorrow. I wonder if it will appear in the Sacramento Bee? Click here to read the article. It is starting to appear on some of the major news sites (like CNBC)...
