The Importance of Curb Appeal When selling your home, I can't stress enough the importance of curb appeal. So, what exactly is "curb appeal"? Well, it's really how a home shows from the street. Believe it or not, it's quite often the deciding factor factor in whether or' not your home gets shown. Many would-be buyers like to drive around in areas where they arc interested in purchasing. If your home doesn't appeal to them from the OUTSIDE, they arc not likely to be interested in seeing seeing the INSIDE. On the other other hand, I can't ever remember remember a purchaser refusing to view a home because it looked loo inviting from the outside! Creating good curb appeal doesn't necessarily mean spending a great deal of money, especially on a home that you're planning to sell. It will however, require some effort on the home owner's behalf... particularly particularly if things have been a bit neglected over the years. So, where to start? Begin by contacting your Realtor. He or she will give you some very valuable advice. Here is a hint. Start by standing at the curb and taking a close critical look at your property. Check lawns, garden beds, hedges, fences, driveways and walkways. These need to be in shipshape. Now move to the back and sides of the house and do the same thing. Next check the house itself ... trim, windows, caulking, shingles, siding, shutters etc. Make a list of things to "do and just keep "pecking" away at it. They say you can't judge a book by its cover. I don't know who "THEY" arc, but they certainly arc not prospective home buyers!! Your comments and questions are always of interest to me and I welcome the opportunity to answer them. our November meeting we will again meet with the afternoon unit on November 11 and attend the service at the cenotaph. The following events were announced: World Day of Prayer, March 6, at 2 p.m. at Blackstock United Church, General Meeting - February 25 speaker to be Phyllis Symons on lier trip to Cuba, Prcsbylcrial Annual Meeting February 18, at Trinity United Church, Bowmanvillc; Conference Annual Meeting April 15 and 16 in Kingston; Spring Renewal at Tyrone April 22. Peggy Larmer Reporter The Annual Golden Slider Bonspicl, a competition competition between the Port Perry and Blackstock Men's Curling Clubs was a definite success on Monday evening. After many competitive games and much fellowship when the final tally was made, it was decided that the unique trophy will return to the Blackstock trophy case for the next year. Afternoon Unit of The Blackstock UCW Nine members and one guest met at the church lor the February meeting. In the absence of Marion Larmer, Jean Ferguson opened the meeting by reading a passage passage entitled "Community". Roll Call was answered by telling a wise or comical saying. Kathleen Watts had the worship service and as February 14th is near, she based her thoughts on Love. She outlined the love expressed to Princess Diana through the Bowers left as expression of sympathy and how her tragic death has changed the Royal Family's approach to the public since' her passing. Love is powerful; Love can span all chasms; Love is more pervasive in our world than evil; above all things put on love which is the bond of perfection. We sang the hymn "Love Divine all . Loves Excelling". ....... „ Thelma' Wright had the program taken from the Mandate when we discussed the plight of the uprooted persons. We were surprised to learn how much a refugee must pay for processing Ice, right of landing, medical examination, proof of family, family, work permit and a citizenship citizenship application Ice before entering Canada.
