Do you know someone who is celebrating their 80th birthday and would love a birthday card from the President of the United States? Visit The White House Greetings Office to find out how you can arrange that.
Recipients must be U.S. citizens, the request must be received 6 weeks prior to the event, and greetings are typically mailed from the White House 10 days prior to the special occasion.
Other milestones which qualify for presidential greetings include 50th (or subsequent) anniversaries, weddings, baby's birth, Eagle Scout award, Girl Scout Gold award, Bar/Bat Mitzvah or equivalent occasion.

The Purple Rose Is A Gem
Founded by Michigan's own Jeff Daniels, The Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea is in its 15th season. The Theatre has a tradition of developing new plays and cultivating local creative talent.
We recently enjoyed The Late Great Henry Boyle written by emerging Livonia playwright, David MacGregor. Next up is the Midwestern premiere of Honus & Me, running from June 22nd to August 26th.
Local, professional theatre at its very finest!

Time Again to Blog
With all the bad news being reported about the local housing market, I found the latest foreclosure information on National Realty News interesting.
While the national foreclosure rate is up 63% from last year, "Michigan’s foreclosure rate dropped from second to fifth place among the top state foreclosure rates thanks to a 25 percent decrease in new foreclosures from the previous month. The state reported 7,727 properties entering some stage of foreclosure in March, a foreclosure rate of one new foreclosure for every 547 households and more than three times the number reported in March 2005."
According to the article, Colorado’s foreclosure rate landed it in first place with a rate of one new foreclosure for every 339 households — more than three times the national average. Georgia is second with one new foreclosure for every 404 households and a 77 percent year-over-year increase. Rounding out the top 5 is Indiana and Utah.
