THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill

TODAY’S THE DAY! Lodi’s Pregnancy Resource Center’s annual Walk For Life is this morning! Registration (and some tasty breakfast goodies) from 8:00 this morning. We begin the Walk at nine sharp.

THE WALK is one of PRC’s main fundraising events of the year. It’s also a lot of fun! Munching good food, listening to a live worship band, visiting with friends…and then a leisurely stroll through some of Old Lodi’s prettiest boulevards! The Walk ends up back where it started: Hutchins Street Square Park (Corner of Rose and Oak).

It’s not too late to ask friends and family to sponsor you. Idea: Call them as you drive down to register this morning! Can’t make the walk? No problem. Sponsor someone else (ME, f’rinstance!). Local businesspeople have promised to MATCH the first $6,000 in donations! That means your gift is worth TWICE as much.

I APPRECIATE the work of the Pregnancy Resource Center because it has helped so many people. Young women and girls receive loving counsel and support. Young fathers, sometimes clueless about what it means to be a Dad, get training in parenting skills. Equally important is the work the Center does in the area of post-abortive counseling: Non-judgemental help for women who suffer with the pain from an event that may have occurred decades ago. Dedicated volunteers give tirelessly of their time and talents (AND their bucks) to meet these very real needs.

DID I MENTION THE BABIES? When you bounce one of these precious little critters on your knee, you REALLY grasp the value of this ministry. Some of the babies rescued from abortion back when the Center first opened are now young adults. You can bet that THEY are grateful for the Center’s work.

JUST LISTED! Charming two-story home! 1818 Mimosa Drive shows like a model. These original owners have cared for it lovingly! Near-new (2004) composition ROOF with 50-year warranty and special insulated sheathing! Three bedrooms, two baths, covered patio, and more! A lot of fresh interior paint! New custom blinds and shutters! There are other special features. Call me for details! Price? At $449,950, this home is a value.

PRICE REDUCED! The duplex at 301 Sterling Way in Woodbridge is now priced at $429,000! Two three-bedroom one-bath units. Value! Live in one side and rent the other side to reduce your monthly payment! Great opportunity for investors, too.

ALSO REDUCED: The duplex at 2347 Arvilla Court is now $439,950. This newly reduced price STILL includes a new composition roof (estimates are running in the $11,000 range). Each side features central heat and air. One side has three bedrooms, one side is a two-bedroom. Great Westside location!

GOTTA GO. See you this morning at the Walk For Life? Hope so. Have a great week!
