Westchester Residential Opportunities, a non-profit housing agency, has teamed up with Freddie Mac, one of the nation’s largest investors in residential mortgages, and Westchester County to provide clear-cut information to homeowners on what they can do to prevent devastating credit problems and how to avoid becoming a victim of predatory lending. Founded in 1968, WRO is a HUD-certified housing counseling agency that works to promote equal, affordable and accessible housing opportunities for all residents. In this troubled housing market, wherein countywide foreclosure judgments, through June 30, have climbed by 62 percent as compared to the same time period last year, WRO has redoubled its mortgage default counseling efforts and is increasing staff capacity to meet the challenge. PASS THIS INFO ONTO A FRIEND IN NEED. LET THEM KNOW IT IS OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP! Thank you, Madeline Diaz

The Greater Toledo Area Chapter of the American Red Cross will host the annual OSCAR Night on Sunday March 7, 2010 from 6-10 p.m. at the Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Guests at OSCAR Night will enjoy star-treatment from the moment a limousine takes them from the parking lot to the red carpet, where they will be greeted by screaming fans and the paparazzi. Once inside, guests will enjoy upscale grazing and specialty drinks from Toledo’s finest restaurants, the Academy Awards presentation on the big-screen, and dancing to live bands. Participants can also vie for a number of “presenter baskets,” each containing special gifts and valued at over $500 a piece. The goal of OSCAR Night is to raise funds for the programs and services of the local Red Cross chapter. Last year, the event raised over $54,000 with the proceeds directly helping those people in need in northwest Ohio. For more information please call 419/329-2619 or visit www.redcrosstoledo.org.
