Mr. Chip helps out at Pearson’s Corner

Recently, Pearson’s Corner Elementary School embarked on a school-wide reading campaign on January 11, 2010.   To kick-off the event, the school organized several assemblies  where the children met “Chip”, a former Hanover Humane Society pup. The children learned about Chip, his mom, and his brother and sisters who all were in Hanover Humane’s foster program. The children asked “Chip” questions, and then he walked around to meet all of them in the assembly hall.   As a show of thanks, the children gifted “Chip” with some goodies that he could share with Hanover Humane’s foster animals.  “Chip” enjoys going out in public to meet people and share information about Hanover Humane’s Adoption, Education, and Prevention Programs.  He’s had a number of “speaking” engagements recently with several more planned over the next months.   If you’d like to meet “Chip” and have him come to your special event, birthday party, etc. please email him at info@hanoverhumanesociety.org to obtai more...

Baylee

Thanks for letting us adopt Baylee (a.k.a. Chloe).  She is a great addition to our family.  As you can see from the photos, she is fitting into the family nicely.  Baylee is enjoying life with us and the comfort of the couch.  Tank is enjoying his new friend and is showing her the ropes.  They both like to go outside and chase each other and then come inside and chase each other some more.  We are looking forward to the summer to see how she likes the water at our place in Northern Neck Virginia.  Hopefully, she will enjoy it as much as Tank does.  Baylee is a well-behaved dog and is a good listener.  She is also very loving to all her meet her. Thanks again for a terrific dog! Sincerely, Jim and Pam Neuens Hello Everyone, Here are some recent photos of Baylee.  She’s not quite sure about the water but we willl continue to work with her to see if her Lab instincts kick in.We didn’t get a chance to see if she likes boat rides as it was a little too windy out this past weekend. Baylee’s main interests are squirrels and rabbits and loves her walks.  When I took her in to get her Lyme vaccination, she weighed 63 pounds. So Baylee is doing great and she is loved by all her know and meet her. Take care, Pam and...

Chick Utley

Why Select Chick Utley as YOUR Agent ? I’ve lived in Ashland and Hanover all of my life. I know and love the area and I put that knowledge to use for YOU. I am a PMP certified project manager with over 30 years of experience in planning and managing major events. This means I pay attention to all the details and my clients are fully informed every step of the way. Most agents hold Open House from 2:00-4:00.  My Open House hours are from 1:00-5:00.  Longer hours = more visitors.  Which can lead to a quicker sale. I’m “onsite” – 24 hours a day.  By using the innovative “Talking House” system, interested parties hear me describe your property right over their car radio. People remember a “Talking House”. I create a DVD of your home which I give to anyone viewing your home. This is especially helpful when dealing with potential buyers from “out of town”.  The buyers can then “walk” through your home as many times as they want, whenever they want. New to the home ownership game?  Let me give you an overview of the buying and selling process.  I can put you in the strongest position possible, whether you are buying OR selling. After you pack everything up and are ready to move, the last thing you want to do is to clean your old house. I reward my seller/clients by having their home professionally cleaned (totally at my expense) after the move. I reward my buyer/clients by providing them an allowance of up to $500 to help with moving van and storage expenses. Availability is critical to success.  My goal is to return every phone call within one hour – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Over 75% of home buyers conduct a part of their search over the Internet (just like you are doing now).  I have over a quarter of a century of work experience in the Information Technology industry.  So I know how to exploit technology for my clients. I create a customized plan for each client.  Whether buying or selling, no “one size fits all” approach works.  I personally partner with each client.  You won’t get passed off to another “team member”. Customer Service Second to None. Unique in today’s world. I remember when customer service really meant something.  When you deal with me, I want you to feel like you are my ONLY client.  Let me make Real Estate simple for you. Together We Make A Difference. I have the honor of being an Official Sponsor of the Hanover Humane Society.  I donate 5% of every commission check to HHS to help them fund their mission of protecting and saving dogs, cats, and other...

Never Too Early to Educate!

On March 14, 2008 HHS Board member Cathy Nault visited the preschoolers at New Hanover Presbyterian Church with a Husky mix puppy named Trixie in tow. Together, they read a book titled “Tails Are Not For Pulling” and demonstrated appropriate ways to pet and interact with a dog. The eager group of 3-5 year olds then helped the older children at the school during their “Coins for Critters” campaign. The Hanover Humane Society supported the campaign by allowing the class that raised the most money to name a dog that comes into our program. The winning class chose “Gallagher” which was assigned to a new puppy in May. Meanwhile, the preschoolers received a coloring book, crayons, magnet and literature from HHS, PetSmart and Banfield Veterinary Clinic. The teachers asked great questions and were eager to learn, too! In fact, Cathy is not sure who enjoyed the visit more, the kids or the adults! (Note: Trixie has been adopted, but at print time, Gallagher was still...
