The Black Rock Homeowners' Association is publishing a monthly newsletter (which can be downloaded at www.blackrockonline.org ). BRHA has changed its schedule of meetings from monthly to quarterly and will use the monthly newsletter to keep members up-to-date between meetings. They are also promoting a "Stimulus Package" to encourage current members to ask new members to join. Both old and new members will get 50% off of their membership dues. See letter from BRHA Board below:
Dear BRHA Members & Neighbors:
For those of you who attended our meeting last week we hope you found the agenda informative. In an effort to continue to keep you informed we will be emailing a monthly newsletter highlighting important development and land use projects in Black Rock. Please click here to read the BRHA November 09' Newsletter---our first issue!
For 2010 we are preparing a more responsive web-site presence, a second edition of the BRHA brochure and four focused membership meetings in Jan, April, Sept and Dec. These meetings will be held the first Wednesday of those months at the Black Rock Library. We will continue to monitor and report on important issues like municipal finances/taxes, Neighborhood Revitalization Zone, the new train station and land use/development issues.
We are in the process of mailing an annual reminder to our members for their 2009 BRHA dues. Membership fees remain at $50 per household and $30 for seniors. However, in recognition of the difficult financial times we also developed a Black Rock Stimulus Plan. If you recruit a new member AND also renew your current membership, you and your new recruit cut your membership by 50%! The membership form is also available on www.blackrockonline.org

We are hearing more and more about this. I reblogged a post on this topic a few weeks ago. Now it is all starting to make sense as to why loan modifications are so difficult.
Lenders make more money on foreclosures than from short sales or loan modifications. That's what Steve Harney conveyed in a seminar. He caused an earthquakein San Francisco
When loan modifications are turned down, the next thing we attempt is a short sale. And we know that lenders turn over the short sale accounts to loan servicing companies who make our lives hell getting short sales approved. As such, we should know that these loan servicing companies make MORE money by letting the properties foreclose than to approve the short sales OR the loan modification.
RUMBLE...GRUMBLE...CRIES OF DISMAY!
Did he just confirm what we were afraid of?
So I researched this topic and found a few articles worth reviewing. How did I miss these? Was I under a rock in a desert?

If you haven't visited Elizabeth Bolton's blog, you should. She always has something interesting. Look at this, a series of rap videos she found on You Tube on SEO. Who wouldda thunk it? I like having fun while learning.
I've been obsessed with search engine optimization for months. This rap song is music to my ears. It's actually full of excellent advice - and very catchy to boot. It's "Page Rank" by SEO Rapper m0serious.
If you click over to youtube and click on "more info" under his name you can read all the lyrics. He's got more SEO rap videos too - you can't watch just one!

Grogins has been along-time advocate for these much needed funds to update and expand the school built in 1958. The school has not had any substantial renovations for over 20 years, she said. The proposed project adds over 24,500 square feet for classroom space, special education, andexpansion of the computer and science labs. Rep. Grogins represents the 129thdistrict and serves on the Education, Government Administration and Elections, and Public Health Committees.

He earned a BFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design and attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. His series One Week's Casualties, 240 portraits of U.S. soldiers who died during one week of the Vietnam War, was shown at the Plains Art Museum, Fargo, ND, and on the news program 20/20 with John Stossel. His work has been seen at venues such as the Aldrich Contemporary Museum, The Drawing Center Viewing Program, NY, Housatonic Museum, and most recently at the Westport Art Center where he was awarded a solo exhibition.
