RealSource Community Service Committee Reaches Out With Help from RealSource Members!
At our Annual Breakfast Meeting last week, the RealSource community service committee collected an enormous amount of food for the Center for Food Action.  Food  items were generously donated by members attending the breakfast.  They also collected donations and sold their ever-popular cookbooks in order to help local charities. The committee works hard year round doing good deeds for the community.  If this is something that interests you, consider signing up for this committee next year!  RealSource Committee requests for 2013 will be distributed next month.
 
 Pictured above are the items collected for Center for Food Action at last week's Annual Breakfast Meeting.
 
Pictured above are Angela Ponticelli, community service committee members and Mary Ellen O'Connell community service committee co-chair selling cookbooks at the Annual Breakfast Meeting.

Lengthy Investigation Into Mortgage Scams Resulted in 530 Arrests, Feds Announce

In both a news conference in Washington and a statement released by Paul Fishman, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, federal authorities touted what they said was the success of a law enforcement-driven, year-long effort to target fraud schemes that bilked suffering U.S. homeowners.
