Brandi & Sage

Hastings, MN (PRWEB) February 5, 2010

Minneapolis-St. Paul (PRWEB) February 5, 2010 — Braveheart Rescue Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dog rescue located in Hastings, MN, invites dog and music lovers to a fun-filled evening on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at the Hastings Country Club from 7:00 pm to midnight. “Hanging Curve,” a rock band out of Golden Valley, will be the entertainment for the evening. Assorted appetizers will be served and a cash bar is available. There will also be a silent auction and raffle prizes. Donation is $ 25.00 at the door.

Hastings Country Club is located at 2015 Westview Drive, Hastings, MN 55033. (http://www.hastingscountryclub.org) Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance by calling 612.382.4234. Donations are also welcome through the website http://www.braveheartrescueinc.com. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to Braveheart Rescue’s efforts in rescuing dogs, helping them heal physically and psychologically, preparing them for life in their new homes.

About Braveheart Rescue Inc.

Braveheart Rescue Inc. is a nonprofit charitable dog rescue that takes in any breed of dog based on the mission “Dogs Come First.” Dogs taken in by the rescue come from all over the United States including Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, New Mexico, Illinois, Iowa and the Dakotas. These dogs may be physically abused, sick, lack socialization–human and canine–, don’t know how to walk on a leash and are generally on a list to be euthanized. On average Braveheart Rescue Inc. helps between 100 and 150 dogs annually and has the capacity to kennel and care for about 30 dogs at one time. Recent natural disasters and the current recession have led to an increased number of dumped and abandoned dogs.

Braveheart Rescue’s five-acre compound in Hastings provides housing and exercise facilities as well as medical care and training for dogs that otherwise might be destroyed. Each and every dog is seen by a veterinarian within 2 or 3 days upon arriving at the rescue. They receive the appropriate vaccinations, are heartworm tested and treated for a myriad of physical problems common to dogs that have been living in overcrowded shelters. All the dogs are spayed or neutered upon arrival. Once all the medical issues have been dealt with, the dogs are allowed to have the time to become comfortable in their own fur again. They are free fed, always have fresh and clean water at their disposal, lots of playtime, a warm bed to sleep in and a caring staff and group of volunteers who help them relearn that they are indeed special and deserving of a second chance at life.

Braveheart Rescue Inc. is also active in the community and tries to raise awareness about dog rescue with the general public.

Braveheart Rescue has been successful in finding homes for so many dogs since its inception. And it has made for many happy dog owners. Here’s what some families have had to say about their experience adopting a dog from Braveheart Rescue:

“Braveheart Rescue Organization should be the very first stop in the journey of discovery if one is serious about adopting a dog. Much more than a holding pen for dogs waiting to be selected, Braveheart Rescue takes the time to bring the dog back to health, start the process of building trust with humans as well as behavior training if necessary, integrate the dog with other dogs, and teach the animal to enjoy life again through discipline, play and proper diet. As a former volunteer and adopter of two dogs from Braveheart Rescue, it has been my experience that an animal will not be released unless Brandi (Director of “Braveheart Rescue Organization ) is assured that the dog is family ready, in good health and a good match for perspective adopter. I have personally observed how Brandi at great expense will keep dogs at the shelter for months until a suitable family is found. The integration of the two dogs that I adopted (each six months apart) went smoothly with family and home because of the commitment that is given to each dog that is taken in by Braveheart Rescue.”

Braveheart Rescue Inc. operates solely on donations from the public and the fundraisers they hold throughout the year. So please come out on March 6 and support this great organization. Help them continue to do the work they obviously do so well. All donations are completely 100 percent tax deductible.

“Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.” — The Dalai Lama

New RV resort lot investment opportunities in the Great Smoky Mountains

Sevierville, TN (PRWEB) April 16, 2006

“The RV investment market has finally hit in the Smokies,” said real estate broker Turby Treadway. Angela Treadway, spouse and partner of Turby Treadway, stated that most of the Pigeon Forge Investment real estate is primarily rental property, and in most cases, the return on investment is much better than what a person can expect from investing in the stock market. “Real estate appreciation can vary between 11% for properties already built to as much as 60% on pre-construction developments like condominiums, vacant lots RV Resorts. Rental occupancy for a number of our log home resorts average 47-50% occupancy rates, which can return great gross rental income.” Said Angela Treadway.

Turby and Angela have several success stories in the Smoky Mountains. Current investment opportunities offered through Privett and Associates, LLC include:

1. Shiloh Springs and Leon’s Rock on Cherokee Lake,

    Lakeview and lakefront community just released with

    predevelopment discounts.

2. Appleview River Resort, A sold-out Pre-construction

    condos project in Sevierville, still offering great

    resell opportunities.

3. Emerald Valley Estates and Hidden Falls, are lakefront developments on Smith Lake in north central Alabama.

4. Lakeshore Inn Resort – A condotel also on Smith Lake.

5. The Resort at Governor’s Crossing, a 154 unit condo with on site rental management now offering resell opportunities.

“I feel that Pigeon Forge is just beginning to see significant real estate appreciation,” said Treadway. “We have a lot of investors who have been investing in Florida and other beachfront areas, but due to such inflation of ocean front properties, are looking for new areas to invest in. The Pigeon Forge, Tennessee investment real estate market is more secure than the ocean front properties at this time. Our investors are finding that with our preconstruction prices Pigeon Forge has a lot to offer.”

MANCHESTER, MD…

Traditional career paths have become more of an obstacle course. The corporate ladder has many broken rungs. In the Gulf Coast region, ActionCOACH is seeing many new faces turning to franchising as an alternative venture and adventure.

“You’d think the worst economic times since the Great Depression would discourage budding entrepreneurs from going into business on their own,” said Karen Boyd, Global Master Licensee for ActionCOACH’s Gulf Atlantic region. “Yet with corporate layoffs, record unemployment rates, shrinking nest eggs and a number of other variables, many entrepreneurs are seeking franchises as a safer track to owning their own business—and that’s attracting franchise owners from a variety of backgrounds.

As the number one business coaching firm in the world, ActionCOACH has a slogan: Recession? What Recession, I have an ActionCOACH. The slogan serves not to deny the current tough economic times but to acknowledge the tremendous opportunities available in the current market—particularly if you’re looking to own your own business.

Some of the areas attracting new franchise owners include:

Corporate casualties and refugees Seniors and Retirees Working mothers Veterans Recent college graduates

Dan Zimanski, an ActionCOACH business coach based in Mandeville, Louisiana loved his job with Oreck until his world was literally turned upside down with Hurricane Katrina. “Oreck’s two main bases of operation were New Orleans and Long Beach, Mississippi—two places hit hardest by Katrina,” said Zimanski.

The company made a heroic effort to get back on the ground and even enjoyed its best year in 2006. The potential for another Katrina, however, played a deciding factor in the company moving its headquarters to Tennessee. Newly married with three stepchildren, Zimanski left the company he loved rather relocating.

“I’ve moved around quite a bit during my career and ActionCOACH  provided the opportunity to do something that I enjoy—coach small business owners—but to stay in a community that my family and I love and call home, particularly after Katrina,” said Zimanski.

Mark Raciappa, ActionCOACH franchise owner in Tallahassee, Florida, represents another new face of franchising: those who choose franchising as a lifestyle option.

Raciappa literally grew up in the supermarket business. Starting as a bagger as teen, he went on to manage a supermarket and eventually owned and operated his own. Tired of working six or even seven days a week, Raciappa put his market up for sale and began searching for a franchise opportunity. FranChoice, a franchise “matchmaking” company, directed him to ActionCOACH in 2006 and Raciappa has not looked back.

“Part of my decision to get out of the supermarket business was lifestyle, I wanted to be able to enjoy my weekends and holidays,” said Raciappa. “The other was doing something to help people. At ActionCOACH, we’re in the business of helping people. In the current economy, the real challenge is helping the small business owner see the great opportunities for success that are out there.

ActionCOACH is the world’s #1 business coaching firm and executive coaching firm. Operating

in 26 countries, the franchise has more than 1,000 offices around the world. That includes locations in the six states (and Washington DC) that make up the Gulf Atlantic region: Alabama (Pelham); Delaware; Florida (Coral Gables, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Miami, North Miami, Palm Harbor, Pensacola Beach and Tallahassee); Louisiana (Baton Route, Loranger, Mandeville, New Orleans and Shreveport); Maryland (Baltimore, Freeland, Fallston, Manchester, Rockland, Silver Spring); and Mississippi (Madison).

Founded in 1993, the ActionCOACH has received numerous awards including Fastest Growing Franchise, Franchisee Satisfaction, Best Overall Company and has been named the number one business coaching franchise for more than five years running.

If you are looking for beautiful property, wonderful friends, and great southern hospitality, Gulf Shores AL real estate is not just a financial investment; it’s a personal one.

Make a choice between an urban or a rural setting for your proud purchase from among the jewels in Alabama Foreclosure Homes.

Alabama is blessed with economic growth, stable home prices, a low cost of living, and excellent value in very affordably priced homes. The rate of foreclosure filings, although up on last year, is well below the majority of other states, and finding the best of these discounted properties may take you a little time. Especially if you have a longing to move into one of those best cities to be-in the state according to some polls; Helena, Alabaster or Birmingham.

A dream home in Dixie is well within your reach. Average foreclosures sales price is around $67,000 right now, with best in the land savings recorded around 40%. Never has your first investment been so affordable, or so promising to profit!

The pre foreclosure period in Alabama is short, a foreclosure action through the courts rare, and will take between 2 to 3 months only until the sale at the courthouse. If you hanker for a property already under notice of auction sale, make sure your financing is in place before you talk to the seller, who at this stage is the borrower in default. If you don’t have access to the cash, get the details of the default amount from the same excellent listings service that showed you the foreclosed property currently available in Alabama., check out other liens, and if there is some equity in that perfect place, consider assuming the loan in question.

Be aware of Alabama foreclosure law before you contemplate bidding at auction; the borrower has a right to redeem for up to 12 months.

Should you miss both opportunities by design or bad luck, cast your net a little further and seek out the big fish for southern frying in real estate owned Alabama foreclosed homes.

If you’re like a lot of Realtors and home buyers, you’re probably in the car a lot, driving to and from home showings, appointments with various real estate professionals and to and from your place of work. Sometimes, music can make those times in the car a little less onerous, but you also want something to get you and your passengers in the mood for looking at yet another property. Here is a list of songs that you might consider for your playlist:

Coming Home/Going Home:

On My Way Home – Enya
Home For A Rest – Spirit of the West
Within A Mile of Home – Flogging Molly
Who Says You Can’t Go Home – Bon Jovi
500 Miles – The Proclaimers
Homeward Bound – Simon & Garfunkel

Owning a Home:

Our House – Crosby Stills, Nash & Young
A House is Not a Home – Ella Fitzgerald
Our House – Madness
Heaven is a Place on Earth – Belinda Carlisle
Once in a Lifetime – Talking Heads
Home Sweet Home – Motley Crue

When It Just Isn’t Going Well

In Every Dream Home a Heartache – Roxy Music
Little Boxes – Malvina Reynolds
Burning Down the House – Talking Heads (Another torch-the-house song. But, hey, it’s cool.)
Take Me Home – Phil Collins (this is all about a patient in a mental institution, but, hey, it’s got ‘home’ in the chorus…)
Sunny Came Home – Shawn Colvin (of course, Sunny torches her home, but hey, it’s still got a great rhythm)

Location-Oriented:

Sweet Home Alabama – Lynard Skynard
My Tennessee Mountain Home – Dolly Parton
Home on the Range – traditional
Take Me Home, Country Roads – John Denver
California – Joni Mitchell
House in California – Keb Mo

Property Type/Style:

Cadillac Ranch – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Love Shack – The B-52′s
Pink Houses – John Cougar Mellencamp
Country House – Blur

These are only a selection of the many songs about houses and real estate. Flip through your mp3 and CD collection to see if you can find more. As a rule, positive and easy listening songs are the best accompaniment when driving to yet another “perfect home”. Location songs can also be good choices, if you have some that have to do with the area.

Unfortunately, the effectiveness of subtle messages has never been proven to actually effect people’s choices. However, it’s great to have some songs that can focus and motivate one in the realm of home selling, even if they don’t compel the client to buy!

Huntsville Alabama has become one of the better cities to live in the United States. Huntsville, with its surrounding natural beauty like the lakes, rivers and the mountains, is also the a city of technology, known as the southern technology capitol competing with Silicon Valley.
