Those were great trick questions. FYI I give some of the books out to my NeighborWorks to give out at their home buyer seminars. Great organization if anyone is looking for a place to volunteer. Thanks, I will still do the contest at home I enjoy the learning process. Thanks for doing this Marcel and Paul. Can’t wait 'til 2018

Very nice John, and maybe you could elaborate on that organization as to what they are and what they do.

NeighborWorks is an organization that helps people to buy a house. It is not a handout the people must attend classes to qualify. It is a good organization to get people back on their feet. They have home maintenance classes, repairs, how to save money for a down payent etc. Here is a link to our local NeighborWorks. http://nwgreenbay.org/home-ownership/ Thank again Marcel for doing this you never know who it may help.

Sounds like an organization I worked for before, (Habitate for Humanity).
Cool.

Yes they work hand in hand with them. it is a great organization. As the old saying said “It’s not a handout it’s a hand”
