"It was very gratifying to be involved in such a wonderful event.The facility is wonderful.  Eva's Village is beautifully organized and very well run."  According to Michele Grimstad, long time member of the RealSource Community Service Committee, "This was one of the most amazing volunteer experiences of my life."  The Committee plans to visit Eva's Village on a more regular basis to lend a helping hand.  This is just one of the many ways that this vital committee helps the community.  From donating backpacks and school supplies to children in need, holding food drives for the Center for Food Action, supply drives for Shelter Our Sisters, to making generous annual contributions numerous local charitable organizations, this committee is hard at work year round.  

Below are some photos from the most recent visit to Eva's Village:

 House Passes Flood Insurance With Amendments


house-icon-blue.gifOn March 4, 2014, the House voted 306-91 to approve the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (H.R. 3370) with amendments. The House amendments further reign in and hold the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) accountable for the Biggert-Waters implementation issues. As passed, the bill would repeal FEMA's authority to increase premium rates at time of sale or new flood map, and refunds the excessive premium to those who bought a property before FEMA warned them of the rate increase. It also limits any premium increase to 18% annually and adds a small assessment on policies until everyone is paying full cost for flood insurance. The Senate must now pass the amended version before the bill can become law. NAR is pressing for a swift vote in the Senate. Read More...
