Today's meeting featured new local vendors  "Stilettos" offering broadly described Realtor oriented services under the banner "Life Management" and with a motto of "The Realtor's Right Hand." From cleaning to consultations, Staging to closing gifts, these folks want to do it all, and don't need payment until you get paid. Call 524 2986 or 524 2944 for more info. Professional. Personal. Productive.

 Our main guest was Russ Mull from the Shasta County Air Quality Management District. He spoke about his efforts on behalf of our pleas to not institute unusually harsh Septic Conditions for growth, and about our future growth in light of the State's goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  There was also a spirited discussion about REOs and Short Sales led by Ron Largent. Looks like this could be a hot topic for further exploration.

  Refreshments and snacks were generously donated by Tyler Nichols of US Bank. He can be reached at their office on Pine Street at 232 3834. Thanks Tyler! He also spoke briefly for the mortgage minute. tyler.nichols@usbank.com

 Thanks, Skip Murphy
