People may or may not be aware that the famous Baldwin family is known on Long Island for more than just their acting abilities. In 1996, Carol Baldwin, the matriarch of the Baldwin family established the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, after nearly losing her life to this disease in 1990. Having been through a double mastectomy herself, Carol Baldwin was determined to help other women that were stricken with Breast Cancer overcome their struggles caused by disease.
According to her website FindACure.org, this research fund has been responsible for 47 research grants totaling $2.35 million. Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so directly on the website or by calling 1-866-CURE4US.
Donating to a worthy charity such as this is always a good thing to do. The more that we do as a society the better the chance we have of finding a cure for this horrible disease. Every little bit helps. Sometimes, people want to do more than a little, and they step up in a big way to help make a difference. A local Long Island business owner has decided to do just that.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2007, Diamond Jewelers is presenting its first annual golf outing to benefit the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. This event will be held at the Holbrook Country Club in Holbrook, NY. The golf outing will be followed by dining and an awards ceremony. Registration begins at 10:30am. Cocktail hour is at 5:30pm. The awards dinner is at 6:30pm, featuring raffle tickets and prizes.
The total cost for this event is only $175, and it includes a complete golf package, greens fees, golf carts, range balls, a golf contest, lunch, open bar and awards dinner. If you'd like to attend the awards dinner only, the cost is $75. All golfers will receive individual golf-related gift bags for contributing to the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.
For more information about this event (registration, sponsorships or donations), please call Bob Borneman @ 516-250-1621. You can also get more information online at DiamondJewelersOnline.com.

The Columbus Day Weekend is upon us and there is fun to be had on Long Island to celebrate. While some may be tempted to stay indoors and take advantage of sales that are going on, many others will want to be outside having fun, enjoying the unseasonably warm weather that we're having. The forecast is for the weather to be in the 80's for the whole weekend.
So where is a good place to go enjoy some quality time with the family? How about attending the annual Long Island Fall Festival? According to the official website for the event for The 2007 Long Island Fall Festival," this event is the largest of its kind in the Northeast, and has become the premiere event for family fun. Brought to you by the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Huntington, this event will attract tens of thousands of families from all over the New York Tri-State area."
The festival features four stages of entertainment, a carnival, arts & crafts vendors, food courts, micro-brew beer and wine tastings, a farmer's market and plenty of activities for kids to do. There is also an enormous playground inside this 25-acre park. This has always been something to look forward to for parents and kids alike. There is no admission charge to enter, but be prepared to spend money on food, games, shopping and the like.
For directions to the park, please click here. Since this festival is situated inside the Village of Huntington, parking can be a bit challenging. Plan on leaving a little early if you're going to meet people there, and also get ready to do some walking from your car as you'll likely have to walk a bit to get to the park. There is also shuttle service available from the Huntington Long Island Railroad Station, and the cost is only $1 for a round trip ticket. If you choose to drive to the train station, you can park there for free.
If you're further out east on Long Island, and don't wish to travel west for this festival, you may want to consider going to the Riverhead Country Fair. Riverhead is an up-and-coming area that is going through a bit of a renaissance right now. If you can't get out to Huntington, this would make a very nice alternative for families living out east.

Long Islanders are relocating out of NY. The LI Relo Guy will help you sell your home with my special relocation program and refer you to a local expert in your destination of choice.
Relocating to North Carolina? Arizona? South Carolina? Virginia? Florida? Geogia? A different state? If you're from Long Island and you answered yes to any of these locations, then you've come to the right place.
Greetings from "The L.I. Relo Guy". "Relo" is the common term used for relocation, which is something that Long Islanders are currently doing with great frequency.
As a native Long Islander, I understand the appeal of living on Long Island. Living on Long Island affords you the opportunity to: benefit from the great beaches, enjoy outstanding restaurants, spend recreation time in amazing state parks, play golf on numerous courses, go fishing for a variety of fish, attend concerts and sporting events, participate in cultural activities, shop at an abundance of retail stores and outlets, and drive out to the East End where you can visit the wineries to sample local wines.
We have a very unique community with its own personality that binds us no matter what part of Long Island we are from, although there are sub-cultures within the fabric of our community based on geographical location. Nonetheless, whether you are from Suffolk County or Nassau County, the South Shore or the North Shore of Long Island, you are first and foremost a Long Islander.
However, all of the amenities mentioned above, combined with some of the best schools in the country, come at a price that has a number of Long Islanders searching for greener pastures. Rising home prices and taxes are beginning to take its toll on first time homebuyers, downsizing seniors, and to a degree, everyone in between. More often than not, home sellers are looking to relocate to places where their taxes will be lower, home prices will be more affordable, traffic and congestion will be minimal and the weather is warm all year round.
Research has shown that the most sought after areas for Long Islanders are: North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Virginia, Florida and Georgia. While it's difficult to watch Long Islanders leaving the place that they have called home all of their lives, it is the reality that exists.
My goal is to help Long Islanders have as smooth a transition process as possible in relocating to other parts of the country. As a licensed New York REALTOR®, and Long Island relocation specialist, I offer all of the tools that are necessary to get you and your family established in another part of the country.
Before your home even goes in the market, it is important that you've researched various relocation destinations to make sure that the area that you've chosen has what you're looking for, as everyone's needs are different. For some, good schools may be most important. For others, it may be proximity to healthcare facilities. The one common theme will most likely be cost of housing and cost of living. To see a cost of living comparison between various areas, you can use this Cost Of Living Calculator, and to evaluate what your likely salary would be in various areas, you can use this Salary Comparison Calculator.
Once you have narrowed down your choices of relocation destinations by doing your research, you will want to visit each location to see if it is a good fit for you. As part of my relocation service, I will put you in touch with a local expert that can not only help you with your home search, but also educate you about life in their particular area. Often times, these are people that have relocated to the area themselves, so they know the exact issues that you are dealing with. This team of professionals has been carefully screened to make sure that they are in fact prepared to handle all of your relocation needs. This service is offered to you, at no charge, for locations virtually everywhere in the world!
After you've decided on your relocation destination, you will need to place your home on the market. Long Islanders that are moving out of the area will automatically qualify for my special relocation marketing plan which is designed to sell your home as quickly as possible, for the highest amount of money and the least amount of hassle. My goal is to have you start your new life in the best possible way.
All I ask in return, is that if you are happy with the service that you receive, that you recommend me to your friends and family that are in need of the same professional services that I provided.
Oh yeah...and a postcard from your new location letting me know how happy you are in your new home.
