January 19, 2007 Pregnancy Resource Center update
By Larry Underhill
WHAT DO Angelia, Juan, Drake, Kalian, Victor, Ethan, Manuel and Estevan all have in common? They’re all enjoying their first year of life, thanks to Moms who chose to allow them to live. Pregnancy Resource Center of Lodi was there for these young mothers at their point of decision. PRC offers unconditional love, counseling, and tangible help in the form of baby items and new-parent training (for Moms AND Dads). The Center also offers post-abortion counseling for women who have gone through that trauma, sometimes distant decades ago. It’s truly “a place of trust in a time of need”.
RECENTLY, $25,000 in annual support to PRC was lost when a large corporate donor cut their funding. Seems that the employee’s union disapproved of supporting an organization that isn’t pro-choice. How about you? If you’re interested in the difference PRC is making in Lodi, one life at a time, maybe you’d like to help close that $25K gap. Most of the workers at the Center are volunteers, and those who are paid staff happily work far beyond their job descriptions. This is one organization I can support without reservation.
OPEN TODAY from noon to 2:00 p.m.: 1800 Orchis Court is 2134 square feet of single-story semi-custom home on a Westside Lodi cul-de-sac. At the newly-reduced price of $499,950, it’s a real opportunity for the right Buyer! Oversized bedrooms! Vaulted ceilings! Statesman Realty’s Mark Edwards will hold this home open today. Come by and say Hello!
HARDWORKIN’ GUY: For his second act, Mark will host 202 North Crescent Avenue today from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Located at Crescent and Locust, a very desirable Lodi address, this one’s a charmer! Built in 1947, this home has been lovingly upgraded, leaving the original character intact. Gourmet kitchen with pullouts galore, even in the island! Lush landscaping front and back. Two bedrooms with a roomy LOFT that could become a third bedroom or study. I especially like the extra-wide staircase to the loft. Drop by today and check it out! $475,000.
OPEN TOMORROW and hosted by Statesman’s Richard Mahoney from 12:00 to 2:00: 640 Eureka Avenue! Almost 1200 square feet of Northside charm. Two bedrooms, one bath, attached one-car garage, central heat and air. Check out the Sun Room! Close to schools, park and shopping and PRICED RIGHT at $289,950! Drop in on Richard and see for yourself.
SLEEPER: 19328 Page Court is nestled in a cozy cul-de-sac, away from the bustle of life. The view from the street belies its size (over 2400 square feet of customized home). It’s easy to recognize the over $200,000 in upgrades and remodeling these Sellers have given this fine home in the five years they’ve lived here. Inground pool and spa with near-new Pebble Tec surfacing (about $10K worth!). Three bedrooms (possible fourth). Two well-appointed baths, one with a special walk-in tiled shower! Attached 3-plus-car garage! Great landscaping front and back. There’s more! Call me for a private showing. $725,000.
TWO QUOTES that are worth remembering: “Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.” That was Harry Emerson Fosdick. And that quote reminds me of another (anonymous): “Holding on to bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” Good stuff, huh? Count on me for a cheery thought for your Saturday morning. See you next Sat!
