Please read about Kid Care below. David Lawrence is a friend of mine and Ginger and I constantly promote children's reading programs as well as have our annual book drive. 
 
Jeannett:
Here’s the good news: Already, more than half of the 10 communities participating in Reading Pals have launched with hundreds of trained volunteers heading for classrooms to read with children. Meanwhile, many other volunteers are signing up to help with a statewide health care outreach initiative. (For one example, 22 volunteers were trained this week in Miami to go into communities and enroll children in KidCare). Moreover, via our partnership with TurboVote, hundreds of Floridians are registering to vote.
Working together, we have the power within us to build something that hasn’t been built before – that is, a movement for all children. Your support fuels this work and inspires me. (To make a contribution of any size – fully tax-deductible – just click here.)
Thank you.

Single Family Home Prices Up

Thought you would find this interesting. Single family home prices in Coral Gables have been rising since inventory started dropping in 2009 when we had 650 homes for sale on the MLX. It is a case of supply and demand and the supply is definitely dropping in all price ranges but especially in the $2M and under range. What bodes well for South Florida real estate bodes well for the rest of our economy and should help all businesses soon as well as our non-profits. There are also going to be a large amount of closings coming up in December as we have seen tremendous traffic the last three months.
