Bus Trip to IKEA & the Christmas Tree Shop
Saturday December 6, 2008 FROM 8:00AM TO 5:00PM

Why not spend the day with friends and forget the driving? For only $20.00 per seat, join family and friends for a fun day of eating and shopping. A bus trip sponsored by the Middletown Democratic Town Committee will leave City Hall (Melilli Plaza) at 8:00am and return at 5:00pm.

Safely store your treasures on the bus as it continues for more shopping at IKEA. Here you can have lunch and an afternoon of more shopping. IKEA's has a cafeteria which offers scrumptious lunches, including a traditional Swedish lunch, for as little as $4.99. Your afternoon of shopping at IKEA will continue until we board the bus at 4:30 for our return back to City Hall.

Today, Sunday, my sons are to finish their homework before they go back to school tomorrow. Both mentioned on Wednesday (which was a half day due to the holiday) that they had everything they needed.
No surprise here my oldest son mentioned he forgot something in his locker.. this happens frequently. Being a Sunday, and a holiday weekend I thought for sure that the middle school would NOT be open. But I figured why not try... nothing to loose. As it turned out the "Handicap" button worked for the outside door and the inside door was open. We tried to go to his locker, but all the lights were out, and of course my flashlight was dead. At least I now know to get batteries in it before I show another home.
I've lived in Cromwell CT for quite some time now.... and feel I have been an upstanding citizen. So imagine my surprise when on the way home I was pulled over by a police officer. It seems we triggered the silent alarm when we went into the school and they have me on the cameras. This is great news to hear... I'm glad to see/hear that my tax dollar(s) are hard at work... and the police department is doing their job. Now I'm on the monitor system for all to laugh at.. why, am still wearing my pajamas. Imagine the 11pm news... "Realtor pulled over for going into school to get homework".
I think it was actually a good thing that I was pulled over. The police officer didn't think the doors should be working.. so maybe this is a good deed in disguise. Now maybe they will make sure the doors are locked and secure.
Never a dull moment in my life... wish I could see the pictures on the schools cameras... I could use a laugh. Hope you are having a laugh on this one too.

CROMWELL FIRE DEPARTMENT
82 COURT STREET
CROMWELL, CT
The Cromwell Fire Department is selling Christmas Trees and Wreaths on 82 Court Street. When I stopped by today, they had quite a few to choose from. They will be selling these trees and wreaths today, Friday, November 28th through Sunday, November 30th from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Then again next week both Saturday, December 6th and Sunday December 7th from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
I will highly recommend if you live in the area to check out these trees and wreaths. The money raised will help support the fire department.. You don't have to cut them, and I'm sure your children (if you have them) would love to pick one out.
For any size tree the price is $35.00. The wreaths start and $22.00 and go up to $60.00. You can get a plain and simple one.. all the way up to an elaboratedly decorated one. There is something there for everyone.
Imagine the smell of fresh cut balsam in your livingroom/or family room. Reminds me of the Christmas's gone by. So, stop by and check out these trees/wreath next time you are in the area.

Vicki Mendyka
NEW ACTIVERAIN MEMBER
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
Farmington, CT
Last week you might remember I posted a blog about, "Insurance Company, Liberty Mutual Steps Up to The Plate". I was under the gun. A client I had couldn't find insurance for her home she was purchasing. It was a cottage, and didn't fall into a neat little package. No other agency that I called or my client called would even touch this.
That is until I called and spoke with an agent at Liberty Mutual. The agent that worked hard and I thought would be a great asset to ActiveRain is Victoria Mendyka. She just joined ActiveRain today, and I wanted to introduce her to the rest of the members here. If you are looking for insurance for yourself or a client, look no future.. Vicki works hard and gets the job done, in a timely manner, and accurately.
When you have a moment, check out her profile, and give her a warm welcome. Thank you.

WORKING ABOVE REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS! I am a long time resident of Cromwell, and a FULL time realtor. Putting clients needs & desires first is a goal of mine. Quality of service is in the details!
I'M HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY WORKING ABOVE REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS! We are now licensed in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. Visit me at http://www.CTrealtorMLS.com/ I am a long time resident of Cromwell, and am FULL time realtor. I put my clients goals and desires first, and try to go the extra mile for them. I feel the "Quality of Service is in the Details", and this is something that is lacking, generally speaking. I knew there had to be an improvement made. Whether you are buying or selling real estate, this can be a big/stressfful transaction, and someone needs to listen.. therefore, I changed my career. After 25 years of being in the financial field, I left to make a difference in real estate. I'm looking to be an Erin Brockovich in the world of real estate.. with this, I expanded my knowledge with extra classes and have been certified with an ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative). What puts me apart from other realtors is knowing that one should alway be ahead of the market when it comes to listing/marketing properties, and to always listen to your clients as if they were your first and only client... because you might be their first realtor.... and with a job well done could be their only one.
Clients may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

Buying a house can be stressful. It might be the largest financial investment you ever make. Valerie took the stress out of this equation from the start. Thank you. I would recommend you highly for anyone that is looking to buy for the first time.. or their 10th time. Linda Wolfe
I would recommend Valerie to anyone looking for buying real estate in the Cromwell, CT area. She was understanding and listened to EVERYTHING I had to say. She took her time to explain the entire process, and made sure I felt comfortable and relax. This was a wonder experience. She is NOT your typical realtor. Christine Foss
Valerie stands out when it comes to competition. We recently listed our condo with her and were one of 16 in the complex. With her knowledge and expertise, she had it under deposit in 8 days. Thank you Valerie....JOB WELL DONE. Mark and Cyndi Rose
My wife and I were looking for a home.. we contacted 2 other agencies and they never responded. She responded to my email in less than 20 minutes. She answered all are questions, and put our concerns at the top of her list. She is very professional. We both our first home and close in 6 weeks. Kerri and John Clark
With all the realtors out there, we didn't know where to start. We were recommended to Valerie, and we were happy we listened. She knew exactly what to do, and make sure every detail was taken care of... she also helped us pack up our place. She goes over and above what other realtors do... from what we hear. Tom and Marilyn Beck
We tried to sell our condo on our own, but after 3 months, waiting for people who never showed up, peoples loans falling through, we asked Valerie if she could help us. In 2 days we had 2 offers, the one we accepted was $5k over asking. In 6 weeks we closed with no problems.. my advice to anyone trying to sell on their own and can't, call Valerie she knows her job and can help. Bill and Marilyn McVie
