Staples, the Office Superstore, is sponsoring a sweepstakes, "Staples Dream Park Challenge", to improve a local park in the Philadelphia area. Mill Road park in Chesterbrook, Tredyffrin Township is one of the fifteen identified parks! The park with the most votes wins $25,000 in improvements and a park celebration with Philadelphia Eagle, Brian Dawkins. In addition, participants can enter for a chance to meet Brian Dawkins and win autographed Eagles gear. The sweepstakes runs from September 23, 2008 through November 17, 2008. Go to www.StaplesDreamPark.com for details and vote for Mill Road park. Just think what we could accomplish if every resident of Tredyffrin and Easttown townships cast a vote!
You may recall that I taped an episode for HGTV's "My House is Worth What?" last fall that featured my historic house. In case you are not familiar with the show, each episode features three homeowners from different parts of the country. The homeowner presents what they have done (and spent) to improve the value of their home to a local real estate expert. The realtor then provides a professional assessment of how well the homeowner's efforts paid off in terms of the value of the property in the current market.
We have lived in our century old Victorian house for 9 years and have spent well over 100K on major renovations. While we do not have any plans to sell in the near future, we are interested in the amount of equity we have accumulated as a result the improvements. We love living in a historic house that has been modernized throughout!
The episode that features my house will air on Saturday, September 13th at 7:00 EST on HGTV. I hope you will tune in to see the projected return on our investment.

You may be aware that a 4 hole disc golf course opened in Wilson Farm Park last year. The park is located behind Chesterbrook Shopping Center, at the end of Lee Road. Disc golf is played just like ball golf, but with a disc (Frisbee) using special targets (baskets) for the holes.
The Friends of Wilson Disc Golf, a volunteer group that enjoys playing and supporting disc golf, are providing instruction on how to play this unique sport. The instruction is intended for elementary and middle school children in the Tredyffrin-Easttown School District. Family members are welcome to join their kids. In the class, basic throws, including drives, approaches and putts will be covered. Practice time is included. The instruction is offerred the last Saturday of each month from 9-11 am. There is no cost to attend, but you must pre-register and bring a disc for your own use. Space is limited. To register, send an email to info@wilsondiscgolf.org.
Additional information is available on the group's website at www.wilsondiscgolf.org. Sounds like fun, huh?

Thank you for all of your help with the staging and taking care of everything from start to finish. You did a remarkable job! What you did really makes a difference and we are very happy with the results. If you ever need a reference I would be happy to provide one. M. Merker, West Chester
Linda is very professional and was able to provide service quickly. She provided resources that were necessary to stage my house without me having to do a thing! D. Florence, Elverson
You worked with us though impossible deadlines and got the job done. Everyone who came through the property was very impressed. You did a great job. A. Redcay, Coatesville
Linda is very knowledgeable and willing to do a little "extra" above and beyond normal service. I feel the staging was in part responsible for the quick sale of the house. I hope we can work together again.
S. Wattenmaker, Phoenixville
