Re: Providence House for Sale

2008-07-26T11:05:06Z

N2L,

We're renting in Providence (from Jon and Karen Mock, who is a professor at USU) and the neighbor's house went up for sale yesterday:

Late 1800's
3 bed, 2 bath
Modern refinish (carpet, laminate wood flooring, new cabinets, etc)
1.24 acre lot (of mostly green lawn but with a lot of trees, 2 barns, etc)
Open house on Monday
$325,000
http://utahrealestate.com/819789 (no inside pictures yet though)

While it would be amazing to have the Mocks for neighbors, the house isn't what Karin and I are looking for right now, so I thought I'd let others know about it. The lot is big enough for the property to be subdivided, but I know they (the Mocks) would like to avoid that, and might be interested in joint ownership of a subdivided lot (or something along those lines) if it made the house more affordable for the right people. (Contact me directly if serious about this option.)

Mike

benefit auction of canoe and snowshoes

2007-11-07T09:15:10Z

Hi Newcomers,

I wanted to let you know that I am auctioning a canoe and pair of snowshoes (both are lightly used and were donated by generous faculty) to benefit a Natural Resources graduate student emergency medical fund. There is a flier attached with photos of the equipment, and details on how to participate. The auction will be conducted entirely via email, and I will update bidders every 2ish days so that the action stays somewhat lively and dynamic. In the unlikely event that there are ties, they will be broken via random draw.

The emergency medical fund was established two years ago when I was seriously injured in a bicycle accident. I didn't have insurance and was looking at medical bills that would exceed $100,000.00. Although my bills were covered by another avenue, the accident illuminated the risk-exposure that faced uninsured students. Nationally, medical bills are the number one cause of personal bankruptcy and they are a leading cause of student drop-out. USU graduate students do not receive health insurance benefits, and most are not covered by their parents or through an individual plan. Additionally, the student health insurance plan is very expensive, has a benefit maximum, and very high co-payments for emergency care and hospitalization. Natural Resources graduate students started raising money to create a scholarship fund that would assist CNR and Ecology Center grads with substantial medical bills. The fund is currently below endowment status and so students are aggressively raising money so that the fund will reach a level where it can begin to award significant gifts.

Please help to support this effort by participating in our auction.

Thank you,

Tammy Wilson

Cat for Adoption Pictures

2007-10-28T16:35:15Z

Hello,

I am fostering a cat for Four Paws Rescue and she urgently needs a
home. Melody is very affectionate and beautiful. She is good about
using her littler box and scratching post and seems content to be
indoors. She should be an only cat because she can be territorial with
other kitties.
Melody was rescued from an individual who had mental disabilities and
was hoarding cats. She was living in a trailer with nine other cats.
As a result, she is very appreciative of attention. Please call me if
you have any questions or would like to meet Melody.

Kim Burgess 801-634-5506.
