Theo nguồn tin trên trang của prweb.com

PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) JULY 30, 2015 A home that is listed with a real estate company that does not sell within the traditional three-month listing can be harder to attract a buyer. The Real Estate Newswire company has posted its review of the Utopia Investment Group, LLC that is offering a “How to Sell Your Home After 90 Days on Market” service online at http://realestatenewswire.com/how-to-sell-home-after-90-days. The process for selling that is explained in the new RENW review overviews how a property owner can find a buyer even if a home has surpassed the regular 90-day window on the market. The services supplied by the Utopia Investment Group, LLC were created to help individuals, landlords and investment property owners to sell their homes even if foreclosure or code violations have prevented a regular sale. “Time is a key issue when selling any home, and there are now programs in place through companies like Utopia IG to expedite the sale of real estate nationally,” said a reviewer at the RealEstateNewswire.com company. The posted review explains some of the hardships that American homeowners can face when a house cannot be sold.

Maricopa Community Colleges Launch Program To Help Youth In Foster Care Finish College

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của phoenix.gov

TEMPE, AZ (PRWEB) JULY 27, 2015

The Maricopa Community Colleges today announced a new program that will help children who are aging out of the foster care system to get into and complete college.

The “Bridging Success Initiative,” funded by the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, was introduced at an event today with partners from across the valley.

The initiative advisory board has representatives from Arizona State University (ASU), Children's Action Alliance, Arizona's Children Association, Arizona Friends of Foster Care, College Success Arizona, College Depot, Florence Crittendon, and the Arizona Department of Child Safety.

The program focuses on three key areas: retention, degree completion, and transfer. The Maricopa Community Colleges are creating supportive environments at all of their main campuses where students can get tutoring, academic counseling, career planning, skill development, and other support services.

Finishing a program usually leads to greater overall earning potential for youth in foster care. And through ASU’s similar “Bridging Success Program,” counselors who work with these youth will make the transfer go smoothly.

“Supporting youth who are aging out of foster care is core to our mission of access and student success,” said Dr. Felicia L. Ganther, Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs. “We are extremely committed to this work and are thankful to our community partners for helping us to create a web of support for these students.

Like other young people, youth in foster care have dreams. Yet we know that there are big challenges and obstacles in the way of these dreams. Our goal is to turn these dreams deferred, into dreams realized.”

Facts about Youth in Foster Care

· Every year, more than 700 Arizona children age out of foster care when they turn 18.

· One in four youth in foster care in the U.S. will finish a certificate or two-year degree.

· Nationally, only 3% of youth in foster care finish a four-year degree.

· More than 25% experience homelessness and/or prison.

· One in three receives public assistance, and their unemployment rate is more than 50%.

Maddy Day is Director of Outreach and Training at Western Michigan University’s Center for Fostering Success and was the event’s keynote speaker.

“With well staffed, campus-based support programs and supportive collaborations between the education and child welfare sectors, our students will not just survive their journey through the education to career pipeline. They will thrive,” said Day.

The Legacy Golf Resort Upgrades Amenities with New Playground Equipment from APCPLAY

Phoenix’s Legacy Golf Resort adds new commercial playground equipment and pre-fab shade structure from APCPLAY for its members’ children.

PHOENIX, AZ (PRWEB) JULY 25, 2015

In order to provide their patrons with even better amenities, the Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix, AZ contacted the playground specialists at APCPLAY to assist in replacing their existing commercial playground equipment.

The Legacy Golf Club & Resort is located on a historical Spanish Colonial property that belonged to the Heard family of Phoenix dating back to 1903. It features 328 suites, an 18-hole championship golf course, pool and health club with an endless variety of recreational activities. The new playground equipment goes to make sure even the younger members of families who visit the resort have an activity they can enjoy.

The golf resort team chose APCPLAY to remove their existing playground components, and to provide and install the new playground equipment. They chose APCPLAY's "Cherry Valley" commercial play structure, two spring riders, and to cover it all with a large pre-fabricated shade structure.

The Cherry Valley play structure contains play activities with benefits that are essential to child development. There are four climbing activities to improve physical fitness, one of which is designed with letters and numbers to inspire kids to create their own learning games. Two exhilarating slides provide classic playground fun, and the play wheel allows for imaginative play. The structure is ADA accessible as well, to promote inclusive play. The playground is designed to entertain children ages 2 to 12 years old.

With the hot Phoenix sun, the Fabric Shade Structure was a must for ensuring children be able to not only enjoy themselves on the playground, but to do so without risk of UV exposure or heat exhaustion. With their purchase from APCPLAY, Legacy Golf Club management made sure that young children have more activities to enjoy while at the resort with their parents.

In an Effort to Protect Arizonans From the Scorching Summer Months, Parker & Sons Offers Coupons

The Arizona summer can be a sweltering inferno inhospitable without fully functioning air conditioning. So, Parker & Sons, rated number one service provider several times over, offers a coupon for a discounted air-conditioning tune up.

TEMPE, Ariz. (PRWEB) July 10, 2015 PHOENIX, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — For over forty years Parker & Sons has been servicing the plumbing and HVAC needs of the valley upholding Grandpa Parker’s legendary customer satisfaction guarantee which ensures “comfort today or else don’t pay.” Indeed, this commitment to customer service and care plays no small part in the success of Arizona native company. The discounted air-conditioning coupon is just one more way to strengthen the bond between Parker & Sons and the Phoenix community. Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150722/239887LOGO “This coupon is our way of making sure that customers are prepared for the summer months. Nothing is worse than being without air conditioning in Phoenix during the summer. Do yourself a favor and get your AC checked before the summer arrives,” said Josh Kelly, partner at Parker & Sons. The Arizona summer is almost more dangerous than a war zone. If it’s not the 120 heat that gets you, it will be the dry climate which makes everyone privy to dehydration and heat exhaustion. Or perhaps a capricious monsoon storm will be your assailant. These storms appear without warning and are accompanied by dangerous deadly winds and dense heavy rain fall. Add dust grime and dirt and this whirlwind of an unpredictable storm can put you amidst a dire strait. Lastly, the summer is when Arizona’s most notorious wildlife makes an appearance. Cold blooded reptiles like rattle snakes love baking in the hot sweltering sun. Hiker be ever vigilant on the trail. But the most important summer survival tip is to gain perspective. Realize that the summer only lasts for about four months and the remaining eight months of Arizona’s climate are considered ideal by most. Remind yourself constantly that the scorching heat is only temporary and things will soon get better. About Parker and Sons Keeping You Comfortable With Expert Heating, Cooling & Plumbing Service Since 1974. Parker & Sons has been serving homeowners and businesses in Arizona for over 40 years and is recognized nationally.
