See you this Sunday, Nov 7 at 2PM at the Calvary Baptist Church!

I want to remind everyone about an announcement I sent out last week regarding a hearing entitled "Up In Smoke: Can More Be Done to Help Fire Survivors Settle Their Claims?" in San Diego by the State Senate Insurance Committee.  It is on Monday November 15 at 7PM at 2100 Greenfield Drive in El Cajon CA.  We need as many survivors there as possible so please take the time to come to this important event.
 
For more information please visit our website at www.oldfirerecoverygroup.org and download the full flyer (Adobe Acrobat required) from the front page on the schedule under Nov 15.

I've added quite a few new discounts mostly from the San Diego area, but you can feel free to browse through them and see if you can take advantage of any of them.  Visit our website at www.oldfirerecovergroup.org and click on "Resources"

I have printed the next newsletter and am in the process of posting them.  I hope to get them out before Saturday.  If you'd really like to read it early, you can visit our web site at www.oldfirerecoverygroup.org and click on "Newsletters".  I have also applied for the last crumbs of a grant from The Community Foundation who collected money around the time of the fire for organizations who help fire survivors.  There was only a couple hundred dollars left in the fund and I hope to acquire it to pay for our next mailing.  It will really help extend our budget!

I am in the process of trying to line up some speakers to talk to us about design and rebuilding.  So far I have an interior designer named Denise Turner who will come on Dec 12 and start with "The Basics of Interior Design" and I am also going to work on an architect and maybe even a landscaping expert.  Stay tuned for updated schedules.
