Superb Marketing Designed to Sell Your Home for the Highest Possible Price SOLD

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

ASK DOREEN

Don’t Sell Your Own House

Dear Doreen, I wrote you in the past and have been waiting for my answer. I see my neighbors’ houses selling through various real estate companies, but don’t see many ‘for sale by owner’ signs. What am I missing? Dear Missing, There are so many reasons not to sell your home yourself it could take up this entire publication. Homeowners don’t know how to pre-screen prospects, resulting in time wasted on those with no intention of

buying. They could be ‘casing’ your house or going through your medicine cabinets, or simply unqualified. The buyer may want unrealistic time to close. accepting an offer from an unqualified buyer would tie up your property, leaving you to start over when the deal falls through. We pre-qualify buyers and bring only qualified buyers through your house. We have the education and experience to act in your best interest. our superb marketing will bring you the highest possible price for your home. —Doreen

nthem groups have a hard time finding a gathering place. Nonprofit groups, such as the Girl and Boy Scouts, say finding affordable space is almost impossible. Talley Sieglen, Anthem School PTA president and Pack 432 chairman said, “It’s very challenging to find a space, especially to find a donated space. We live in a community that is designed for families. We have a community center with spaces, but they’re not priced competitively.” The Outlets at Anthem has designated a community room for non-profit use. Reservations are firstcome-first-served and can be made on a month-to-month basis. “You can’t plan your year calendar 14 |

according to meeting at the Outlets,” Sieglen said. But the space is the best, she said, since it’s free. According to Colleen Rock, reception administrator at the Outlets, several non-profit groups meet in the community room every month. When it comes to use of the room she said, “It’s busy in the fall as groups start planning the year and it can be competitive, but the groups sort it out together and it usually works out.” When able, some local churches will donate space for non-profit groups to hold meetings. Cross of Christ’s Rob Gaboury said they have accommodated requests from scouts, Sober Sisters, AA and others. For performing arts groups, space is limited. Starlight Community (See MEET on Page 21)


Civic Building to Offer Meeting Space... At a Price By Karen Goveia kgoveia@anthemnews.com

The building, purchased with Anthem’s enhancement fund dollars, promised to provide much-needed meeting space for community groups hard-pressed to find available affordable space. What had not been made clear is how much Council planned to charge for use of that space.

• Crowns, Bridges, Dentures

CEO Jenna Kollings told In&Out, “We will be developing rental policies (including rental fees that are designed to cover costs yet also be reasonable to facilitate community use) for use of the civic building by... Anthem residents, local businesses, Anthem-based nonprofit community organizations...” She said the ACC plans to send a letter to all local 501(c)(3) organizations to determine the level of interest in leasing available building space.

• Root Canal Therapy

At a special meeting April 4, Council approved a short-term agreement with the Daisy Mountain Veterans for space on the second floor, which the DMV occupied some years ago when the building was under different ownership. The agreement will be re-evaluated once the building is ready for community use, said Kollings. Terms are still under negotiation, but (See CIVIC on Page 17)

Throwing all in for and has learned that stepping up to a cause that in the end pays only make a difference is not a solo mission. in gratitude, a handshake or hug. “Together we can do it, but it takes Volunteering time can seem impossible more than one person to get started,” she said. “I want to be an inspirational with our busy schedules. Then there are times when you are touched in such role model to the younger ones.” a way that all roadblocks disappear. Then, you find yourself giving away those precious minutes, hours— with abandon. Like Grace Hanson.

Moved to Action Grace, is already someone we aspire to be. An eighth grade fireball from Anthem School, she volunteers―big time. After watching teachers, classmates and others suffer and succumb to cancer, she joined Relay For Life Anthem to send a message: “Let the youth know that we have the survivors’ backs and that the youth here in Anthem can survive and have more birthdays.” A Special One Now in her second year with Relay, Grace is the Youth Involvement Chair; a big title and big job—one that Grace does… with grace. Her inspiration is her late great grandmother, Erma Miller. Miller, who battled cancer, moved in with Grace and her family to live out her last precious minutes, hours. Fighting tears, Grace remembered, “She was living with us when we first moved here

An Example That Inspires Chloe Cottingham has learned from her friend Grace. “She tells me to keep going and never give up and there is always something to look forward to,” Chloe said, and added, “If you give up, it’s not going to get any better.” (See GRACE on Page 20) THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2013 |

The lessons are not lost on adults either. Joli Reichert took Grace’s spirit to heart. “Seeing Grace’s involvement and her ability to organize and really bring the students in inspired me to help out,” said Reichert, who is the Relay For Life Luminaria Chair this year. And, what has Grace learned about herself? “I can push through. I can do it,” said the eighth-grader who took that leap of faith that giving of yourself requires. Great Grandma would be very proud. io

Providing Health Care for Children


(From MEET on Page 14)

Theater finally secured retail space at the Anthem Marketplace (Safeway plaza). And after five years of bouncing around, Jeff Hammond, managing director for Musical Theatre of Anthem, finally leased space in the Commerce Park on Anthem’s west side. “It was frustrating for us to hold our performances at the high school. There were so many constraints and scheduling conflicts we finally had to lease a theater space that could be our own,” Hammond said. MTA rents its space to other groups who need an auditorium, offering discounts to non-profits. Some groups complain the $24-perhour rate at the community center is too expensive, especially for non-profit groups. With the area’s many groups needing affordable space, the Anthem Community Council plans to alleviate the pressure with the new civic building. The intent of the new civic building is to be a gathering place for the community. There will be several spaces available for both drop-in free use and rental, from classrooms to meeting rooms, both large and small,” ACC Community Executive Officer Jenna Kollings said. Plans include a multi-purpose room available for rent for large-scale events, such as banquets and performances. Preliminary pricing, however, implies there may not be much good news for groups seeking financial relief. io
