Rotary Club of Trinity has a Holiday Party at Fox Hollow Country Club Trinity Rotary Club had Christmas Dinner at Fox Hollow Country Club last Friday. The theme was Cruise Ship- Captain’s Night.   It was an evening at the Captain’s Table and we all had a wonderful time. We danced, played games, exchanged gifts. Trinity Rotarian's work hard all year to help the children of the Trinity and New Port Richey area and this was our night to relax and have fun together. (We always have fun together). We also donated gift certificates in the amount of $10 or more from Walmart, Target, Visa or MasterCard to donate the Pasco Foster/Adoptive Parent Association (Angel Tree program) as well as needy children in our community. Rotarian's are always thinking of ways to help out; especially at the Holi...

          “You never get a second chance to make a great first impression.”           This saying strikes a chord in the real estate industry, where many buyers are quick to jump to a conclusion about a potential home after just one glance. That’s why an increasing number of homeowners are employing professional home stagers to prepare their homes for sale.           “Much of what staging accomplishes happens on a subconscious level,” said Carla Grammatica, a consultant with Stage Setters in New York’s Westchester County. “You are trying to create a positive association between your house and the prospective buyer. Anyone can change a paint color after they move in, but first impressions are difficult to undo.”           With 91% of buyers searching first on the Internet for homes, MLS ...

          There’s an episode of the hit TV series “How I Met Your Mother” where the characters of Marshall and Lily decide to buy a home in a neighborhood they are unfamiliar with, only to learn later that it sits downwind from a sewer plant. The message is obvious: A buyer must do his or her due diligence on prospective neighborhoods to make the best real estate decisions.           For starters, investigate the local school district as good schools boost your property value. Research the closest parks and community centers and consider how busy streets impact the neighborhood.           Profiling the perfect neighborhood also involves meeting prospective neighbors. Walk through the area and say hello to people, and ask them for their impressions of the neighborhood. While you’re at it...

  Home sellers spend so much time preparing their interior for the sale that they can easily overlook what’s going on outside of the home. Yet great curb appeal can increase the value of a property by as much as 15-20%.             Mario Garcia, a landscaper in Bethesda, Md. who helps prepare homes for market, says a well-manicured lawn is a magnet for buyers. On the other hand, overgrown trees or large bushes hiding the house are a no-no. “Buyers associate the condition of the exterior and landscape with the condition of the interior,” Garcia explained. “Curb appeal must invite buyers to view the rest of the property.”             Landscaping fixes include adding flowers or sprucing up the property with decorative grasses or Japanese maples. Accent the trees with rocks or boulders for ...

           A stressful part of putting your home on the market is trying to figure out what to fix and upgrade to get the very best price. An experienced agent will recommend projects to consider and ones to avoid. After all, just because you put money into a renovation project doesn’t mean you will recoup the money in a sale.           You may also want to consult Remodeling Magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report for a breakdown of typical returns on renovation projects large and small. The  24th annual edition published earlier this year contains input from some of the country’s top remodeling professionals and ranked 35 remodeling projects for highest returns.            In many cases, smaller-scale renovation projects recoup more of their initial cost than larger, pricier ones, acc...

The golf course at Fox Hollow in Trinity, Florida is beautiful and always has lots of wildlife (no, not the golfers) wandering around it. We were at the clubhouse, Windows on the Green, for a meeting when all these Sandhill Cranes flew in; they were having quite an argument - probably about which couple the golf course belonged to.  Sandhills are territorial. I think the sandhill crane on the lower right was trying to imitate the sprinklers (upper right).
