SHOOTING SPORTS BUILD CHARACTER & OPPORTUNITIES and prove to be stepping stones for greater futures. The athletes that are involved in shooting sports are self-motivated, disciplined individuals who respect their equipment and love their sport. They spend countless hours training physically and mentally. The various disciplines of the sport offer ample choices for athletes to find their niche (Shotgun, Small Bore, Free Pistol, Air Rifle, Air Pistol, etc.). The local shooting clubs and 4-H clubs assist to insure that Shooting sports build character & opportunities for any that show an interest.
These athletes compete at various matches throughout the year in training for the coveted invitation to the National Junior Olympics competition in April that takes place at the USA Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. In order to quality, they must shoot above a set minimum score which is set by USA Shooting. If they score at or above this score they will receive an invitation to participate in the JO's.
We have experienced the fact that Shooting sports build character & opportunities first hand in our son, Will Brown. Will started shooting precision air rifle at age of 15 and qualified his first year for the Junior Olympics and brought home his first of 2 Gold medals before he switched to the Air Pistol. Will immediately qualified for the JO's with pistol and has held the gold medal podium spot ever since. 2011 will be Will's last year as a junior but these past years have proved so valuable to him.

The US Olympic Committee asked Will to move to the Olympic Training Center after his graduation. In 2010 he graduated from High School and now lives and trains as a full-time athlete. Will's most rewarding moment to date is his recorded breaking score at the Bavarian Air gun Championships in Germany where he broke the Jr. National Record with a 579 score.
Not only does USA Shooting cover Will's room and board, but also makes grants available for college and pay him a monthly stipend. So it is a great, great opportunity! His coach and the Olympic Committee look for great things from Will and we hope, Lord willing, that we will see him in an Olympic games soon.
So if you have a son or daughter not able to find a sport they excel at consider shooting sports. If it can happen to a young cowboy/farmer from Twin Falls, Idaho, it could happen to you!! And don't forget that SHOOTING SPORTS BUILD CHARACTER & OPPORTUNITIES for those who take it seriously and work hard.

Was it worth 5 hours of labor and a $5 trip to the dump to help my sellers make an extra $2000+ and hopefully get a quicker sale? You bet it was! Are my sellers happy? Here is what they said when I emailed the "after" photo:
"Wow! That is a much better look! You're wonderful! Thank you, Marcy"
"good job what a difference susan good luck this weekend yeah!!!! Randy"
The BEFORE video of my little project today
This is why I do what I do. I love to work, I love to please my sellers and be a blessing to them, I love to guide buyers into a solid, well-built home and away from those that are money pits, I just plain love the real estate industry.
My husband, after he saw my sore muscles and bloody finger asked, was it worth 5 hours of labor and a $5 trip to the dump? I had to say the same to him, yes. Thanks to his help for an hour and the tools he had for me to use, I was able to get the job completed in time for an open house.
The AFTER video of my little project today
Some say I can't leave well enough alone, I guess that is true. When I see something that needs to be done, I do it. It doesn't matter if it is my house or a listing. To help someone else gives me great joy. So whether it is playing electrician and light fixtures out, painting wood-paneling, removing wall paper, cleaning windows, re-grouting tile, I will do it with joy in heart and a song on my lips.
So maybe you should try it, if you don't already. It feels good to help others and put their needs before your own. In the real estate industry we have plenty of opportunities to serve others, so give it try!
SO just to reiterate - Was it worth 5 hours of labor and a $5 trip to the city?
Yep!

BENEFIT DINNER & MOVIE
If you live in the Twin Falls, Idaho, area please join me for a BENEFIT DINNER & MOVIE for a friend.
The BENEFIT DINNER & MOVIE will be held Friday, February 11, 2011 at The River Christian Fellowship located at 3300 E. and Falls Ave. E., Twin Falls, Idaho. The dinner will start at 7 PM and the movie will follow at around 8:30 PM.
The proceeds from the BENEFIT DINNER & MOVIE will help with medical expenses for a young wife and mother of 3 young children, Jennifer, who has a rare kidney disease. She has been hospitalized many times and undergoes frequent dialysis. She faces future expenses for a kidney transplant surgery too. Another way you can help is to test to see if you are a match for her as she will also need a kidney donor. Expenses for the donor are covered by Medicaid or insurance as well. So please consider being a donor, not just for Jennifer but for all those waiting for that gift of life. The surgery is amazing now days and recovery time is fast for most. My best friend recently donated a kidney to her daughter-in-law and was out of the hospital in three days. She says I can give her phone number to anyone that has questions.
The minimum donation for the BENEFIT DINNER & MOVIE is $10 per person.
Not only will there be the BENEFIT DINNER & MOVIE but also a Barrel Racing and Roping Benefit in the near future. We have many wonderful indoor arenas in the Twin Falls area and are in the process of securing one of them. As a horsewoman myself, these are always fun and a good time is had by all whether you participate or not.
It is my hope and prayer that this Beneift Dinner & Movie will raise enough funds to cover Jennifer's portion of her current hospital & medical expenses and well as future costs. This young couple barely scrapes by and have nothing but each other. He works hard but she is of course, unable to work due to her illness. Their three boys are fantastic!
So, come do something wonderful to help someone in great need and meet some new friends while your here. If you can't make it, but want to donate, let me know as we will be setting up a Trust Fund at First Federal Bank in the next week or so.
Have a great 2011!

Magic Valley Realty - Twin Falls
Who is Susan:
On a personal level: I am an avid outdoorswoman. We love to backpack, hunter, and shooting sports. I am an expert horsewoman and am married to a quality home builder. My oldest son is on the USA Olympic National team as a Air Pistol shooter, we look forward to his Olympic future. I began shooting competitively in January 2011 as well and hope to be on the Olympic stage myself someday, Lord willing. My husband, Dan, has been building homes in the Magic Valley for 21 years as his father did before him. I was born and raised in Almont, North Dakota.
I also serve my community as a Biblical Counselor, musician, real estate photographer and help with staging as well.
Tirelessly committed, compassionate, and resourseful are three terms we could use to describe Susan Brown.
My wife and I chose to sell our home and make the move to Twin Falls and were lucky enough to come across a listing Susan had on the market. After one meeting with Susan there was no reason to go any further in the search for a realtor. She made herself available on a moments notice andﾠworked endlessly to get our house sold and find new listings for us to view. She never questioned our desire to look at 'just one more house.' She was always fair and never pushy in trying to get a listing sold and our favorite part she always did it with a smile.
Susan stood by us from the day we listed our home until the day we signed for our new house always offering advice and giving support. She made us feel like we were the most important clients in the world. We would suggest Susan Brown and Powerhouse Realty to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. She simply makes the process enjoyable!
Brian and Crystal Ayers - Twin Falls, Idaho
*********************
Susan did far more than we could have expected out of a good agent. She negotiated with our landlords when it looked like closing would get pushed out, she used her horse trailer and helped us move, she also fed us all with pizza. When our frigerator was too big for the opening, she brought us her extra to use until we could purchase one that fit. We highly recommend Susan.
Dan & Lisa Stienke - Twin Falls, Idaho
************************
Susan was amazing! She helped us with every step of the process, showed us dozens of homes and always had our best interest in mind. We couldn't be happier!
Dan & Stacey Taylor - Jerome, Idaho
************************
We were so blessed to find Susan. She was awesome and helped us in every way to meet our needs and answer questions. We love our home and Susan!
Mark & Julie Bryan - Kimberly, Idaho
************************
We appreciate Susan. She goes above and beyond her responsiblities to help. We highly recommend her.
