 Hello friends, family, and neighbors! It's auction season once again for University Park Elementary School (UPark). If you have a business/goods/talent/service that you would be willing to donate or would be interested in a sponsorship, please consider supporting our school. (Examples of goods or services donated in the past are bottles of wine, gift cards/certificates, merchandise, spa packages, tickets to cultural events, travel opportunities etc. If you would like more information about the sponsorship packages available, please contact me. There are three different investment levels, starting at $1,000 but also a la cart options that are less expensive.) The goal this year is to raise $77,000, which goes directly to funding to keep classroom sizes small. This event is organized by the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) to raise money for the students of University Park Elementary School. UPark is located in Observatory Park in Southeast Denver, and serves children in kindergarten through fifth grade. It is an ethnically and socio-economically diverse school whose success and growth depend on the support of its parents and the community. Like many schools in Denver and throughout the State of Colorado, UPark faces budgetary challenges that threaten its ability to meet the academic needs of all its students. Therefore, the PTA organizes an annual auction to help bridge the gap. It's one of UPark's most important fundraisers. The deadline to make a donation or sponsor the event is Wednesday, March 6, 2019. I am happy to send you a donation form. The Auction will be held on April 6, 2019. Thank you so much for your support! Kristin Kleimann (parent) My contact information is: [email protected]

 This recent article from Consumer Reports provides consumers with information about how to save money on mortgage fees by:
1. Obtaining several loan estimates As the article states, "Your best tool to comparison-shop mortgage fees is a Loan Estimate—a free, standardized form that you can request from each lender." The company I used to work for, Kleimann Communication Group, Inc. and I, prior to entering real estate, helped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) develop this consumer friendly tool. The Loan Estimate breaks down the total cost of a loan, "so you can compare loans, apples to apples." Other ways to reduce your fees include: 2. Avoiding or minimize junk fees 3. Shopping for or negotiating on fees you can control 4. Questioning fees that appear to be out of your control 5. Preparing for closing fees you can't avoid To read the full article and get more detail about how to save money, please click the link below: https://www.consumerreports.org/mortgages/how-to-save-money-on-mortgage-fees/ |
