For
many people all over Sonoma County, this is going to be a tough holiday season.
Jobs, homes, and stability have been lost, and cheefulness is hard to summon.
It's hard to share in the holiday spirit when the utilities are being turned
off, the next meal is a question mark, and the kids are too young to understand
why things are different. The great need in our community is an opportunity
for us to participate in the greatest of all gifts, the chance to share and
serve.

Empire Food Bank
Serving all communities in Sonoma County. They are trying to serve 60,000
people each month and are in the middle of a drive to reach 200,000 pounds
of food and $160,000. They have plenty of volunteer
pportunities for you to work with them. You can also bring the joy of
sharing to your fellow workers or students by setting
up a work or school drive of your own.

They are the first on the scene of every emergency. When FEMA failed in New
Orleans, the Salvation Army was feeding hundreds of thousands. Anyone can
support their good works, but you can't fail to see the animating spirit of
Christian charity in their efforts: Emergency food assistance. REACH Program

I
have created Sonoma County REO, a map
and blog site for REO property in Santa Rosa, Windsor, Rohnert Park, and other
Sonoma County cities with bank owned homes. This site shows you locations
for all the actively listed foreclosed single family homes and condos and
lets you get detailed information about each one. There is no registration
or fee required to use this service. If it works well for you, tell your friends.
If you are serious about buying an REO property and don't have an agent already,
please get in touch with me.

Have
a happy holiday season. The economy is in turmoil, foreclosures and bankruptcies
are up, but we're going to get past this rough patch. We have chosen new leadership
and the path to the future looks green. Sonoma County is well positioned to
continue to innovate. We have a great population of smart, hard-working people
ready to make this county a national leader in alternative energy, communications,
and sustainability. In spite of the hard times, I'm upbeat
